Istanbul, the timeless city
i planned a travel to Istanbul from ankara, on 2006 September. the experience began when I saw the beauty of Haydarpasha Train station building, and went on in the journey to Eminonu by boat.
the weather was slightly rainy, and Suleymaniye was completely empty in the Sunday holiday. i just walked in the narrow streets of Suleymaniye under the rain, and tried to feel the breath of the old times.
"timeless city" was the motto of Istanbul in the recent commercials, and when you visit the city; you see that this is completely true.
over the bosphorus; Istanbul is the only city on the world that locates on two continents. it may be a good experience for one to get to another continent by walking.

Great page. We hope to see Istanbul some time soon. Greetings from Kragujevac, Serbia
Thanks for the photos and explanations for Istanbul. I've got to visit there for some time.
nice page of beautiful places. Inspiring. Geat photoes. What's the distance in Blue and Sulemani Mosque. What are the common languages in Anqra and Istanbol?
Fatih, welcome to VT. Excellent start of your Istanbul page. Your photos are fantastic. I visited Eyup and the place of Pierre Loti, so you have new places to visit next time you are in Isatnbul.
such a wonderful place, with such wonderful food and interesting history. one of the great spots of the world to see and experience. Very good page
