ISTANBUL

Istanbul, the Imperial Capital and a fascinating city!

For more than 1500 years Istanbul was the capital of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires.

 

With one arm reaching out to Asia and the other to Europe, Istanbul is the only city in the world built on two continents. The Bosphorus courses the waters of the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn through the city’s heart.

A beautiful day getting reacquainted with the fascinating city of Istanbul, Turkey!  Istanbul Ferry – Eminönü To Kadıköy. 

Boarding ferry from Eminönü to Kadıköy.

Istanbul also has an Asian side – where you can be on one continent, one minute (Europe), and another continent the next (Asia). One stretch of water divides the two halves of the city (and, yes, the two continents); the Bosphorus Strait.

That’s the wonderfully special thing about Istanbul – the Istanbul ferry! What a fabulous way of traversing a city. Commuters, shoppers, tourists; the Istanbul ferry routes carry the city’s millions from point to point…with scenery that any cruise ship enthusiast would, and do, pay a small fortune for.

A visit to the fresh fruit, vegetable and fish market at Kadıköy. Lots of fresh fruits (in season) available in the fish market as well.
