"I love this city" Istanbul by dabuwan

Unfortunately it's a few years I'm not going back to Istanbul. I've been there three or four times and I always felt at home here; usually I don't like large cities, but Istanbul is something really special, with its amazing history, monuments, location, people, food, and its vibrating, yet relaxed, pace of living.

    Thanks for your kind feelings about Istanbul. I do not think that you missed to watch Ferzan Ozpetek's film "Hamam" but if so , I would recommend you to watch this turkish-italian film soon.
