  Istanbul from space

Favorite thing: I think that its time to help the visitors of Istanbul.You know already that, Istanbul is situated in two continents.Small portion on Asian side ...The most popular places of Asian side are Kadikoy,Uskudar,Beykoz,Maltepe,Bostanci,Tuzla,Pendik...
The European side is divided with a small bay which is called Golden Horn (Halic in Turkish)
The Old Town is situated in the left side ( west) of golden horn and famous places are called Eminonu,Sultanahmet,Fatih,Beyazit...
On the east side(east)of Golden Horn take place the modern site of Istanbul famous places are called Galata,Taksim,Beyoglu,Sisli,Levent,
Bosphorus is the channel between two continents and it links the Black sea with Marmara sea .There are also 2 bridges(Ataturk bridge,Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge) which links the Europe with Asia.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
