Plan Your Istanbul Holiday
Istanbul is one of the most storied cities in the world. Its beauty derived from being the capital of several different empires dating back to 660 B.C. It has been the hub of commerce and culture for the Byzantine, Ottoman, and Roman Empires and has benefited from each of those empires as seen through its magnificent architectural examples. The Rumelian and Anatolian Castles are beautiful ruins from the glory days of the Ottoman Empire. The Roman influence can still be seen at the Column of Constantine and the Valens aqueduct.
