The gateway to Asia

I love Istanbul. Definitely a European city, it permeates Asian culture and habits. It has all you want and more. 2000 years of history, excellent architecture, thriving nightlife, low prices, great people, fantastic sceneries and a very high quality of life with surprisingly little traffic. Definitely a city that I cherish in all its aspects.

Pros:"It has everything you want and more."
Cons:"Too big perhaps?"
In A Nutshell:"Go before it's too late and the EU spoils it!"

 Perché l'UE dovrebbe rovinare Istanbul? Al contrario, dopo l'ingresso nell'UE, Istanbul e tutta la Turchia avranno notevoli vantaggi.
