Transfer from Istanbul Airport Havalimanı (IST) to Istanbul City Centre

 

In 1923, Istanbul (then Constantinople) lost the status of the capital of Turkey. But it remains the largest city in the country. And the only city in the world that is located simultaneously in Europe and Asia.

Istanbul is a special city for a Russian. Orthodoxy can be treated differently, but no one will deny that it largely determined the fate of the Russian state. But Orthodoxy came to Russia precisely from Istanbul, which was then called Constantinople.

Prince Vladimir once came to the Hagia Sophia, which stands right on the banks of the Bosphorus. And it was here that the decision was made on the adoption by Russia of the Orthodox faith. A little less than five centuries - from 1453 to 1935 - the cathedral was a mosque. Today it is the Hagia Sophia Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

However, even before the construction of the cathedral, the temple of Artemis, the Greek patron goddess of all living things, stood on this site.

It is unlikely that there is still a place on Earth where, in different languages ​​and different gods, but people have been asking for requests for nearly 3,000 years.

And this is just one of the attractions of Istanbul!

 

 

The main feature of the city is the indescribable color of the mixture of East and West, Europe and Asia, Islam and Orthodoxy, which manifests itself in everything: architecture, cooking, people's lifestyle and clothes, climate, smells and colors. And although Istanbul is formally divided into Asian and European regions, it is clear that there is no and cannot be complete isolation between them.
