Travelling to Istanbul means venturing where East meets West, grown familiar with one another, and intermingled for centuries. Straddling the Bosphorus Strait, the Sublime Porte presents an eclectic face, made up of unapologetic modernity, winding alleyways, proud neighbourhoods, iconic religious attractions emblematic of world history, and a mix of bazaars and shops, from the most modest to the most luxurious. Known in turn as Byzantium under the Greeks, Constantinople during the great era of the Eastern Roman Empire, and then Istanbul with the advent of Atatürk and modern Turkey, the “city of cities” is constantly reinventing itself, while embracing a unique and prestigious past.
