Yatching in Kuleli... Some views from Istanbul...
"There, God and human, nature and art are together, they have created such a perfect place that it is valuable to see." Lamartine’s famous poetic line reveals his love for Istanbul, describing the embracing of two continents, with one arm reaching out to Asia and the other to Europe.
Istanbul, once known as the capital of capital cities, has many unique
features. It is the only city in the world to straddle two continents, and the
only one to have been a capital during two consecutive empires - Christian and
Islamic. Once capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul still remains the
commercial, historical and cultural pulse of Turkey, and its beauty lies in its
ability to embrace its contradictions. Ancient and modern, religious and
secular, Asia and Europe, mystical and earthly all co-exist here.
Its variety is one of Istanbul’s greatest attractions:
The ancient mosques, palaces, museums and bazaars reflect its diverse history.
The thriving shopping area of Taksim buzzes with life and entertainment. And the
serene beauty of the Bosphorus, Princes Islands and parks bring a touch of peace
to the otherwise chaotic metropolis.
