Istanbul Information
Istanbul is the only city in the world that
spans over two continents. Europe and Asia.
The city embodies mystery, intrigue, and
glamour which left most other cities long
ago. While the museums, palaces, great
mosques, and bazaars seem inexhaustible,
there’s also an unexpected natural beauty.
From the shores of the Bosphorus at sunset,
the red evening light reflects in the
windows on the opposite shore and you
understand what attracts people to this
glorious city.
Shopping in Istanbul is most likely the
least expensive in entire Europe, food is
varied and exquisite combining unique tastes
of European, Mediterranean and Middle
Eastern cuisines -thanks to the Ottoman
Empire once spanned from eastern Europe to
Northern Africa and desserts of Arabia-, and
the seven million who live here mingle with
a wide variety of humanity walking its
streets.
Istanbul is the largest city in the Republic
of Turkey. It is located on the shores of
the Bosphorus, and is bordered to the north
by the Black Sea, to the east by the region
of Kocaeli and the Marmara Sea and to the
west by Tekirdag and the Kirklareli region.
The city covers a total area of 5712 km²
including, within the urban district, the
islands of the Marmara known as the Princes
Islands. It is flanked by a range of high
hills to the east of the Bosphorus, the
highest of which is Aydos (537m.) near
Kartal. Camlica hill (229 m.) east of
Uskudar, is a recognized tourist spot.
Forests surround the city sporadically, the
most extensive being the Belgrad Forest
which is 20 square kms, to the north of the
city.
Istanbul winters are warm and wet, summers
hot and dry. The climate is tempered by warm
Mediterranean winds which counter frequent
Black Sea cold fronts. Temperatures vary
moderately between day and night, and from
season to season. The summer season is
approximately 90 days long, while winter is
80 days long. Snow fails for an average of 7
days in a year.
The largest river in the region is the Riva,
which flows into the Black Sea. In addition
there are two rivers flowing into the
Bosphorus. Istinye river and Buyuk river.
The region also boasts three small but
notable lakes, all on the European shores of
the Bosphorus. These are the fresh-water
Terkos, which supplies the city with much of
its water, and the inland seas of
Kucukcekmece and Buyukcekmece on the Marmara
coast, which are salt water lagoons. Fish
are found in both these lakes.
The city, whose population is about 12
million, is a major port and trade center.
It is the most important city in Turkey,
possessing a number of universities, high
schools, libraries and cultural centers. The
city is an impressive sight, situated, as it
is, on a site dominating both the Golden
Horn and the Bosphorus, and brimming with
fine monuments and artifacts of the
Byzantine and Ottoman era.
Up to the Turkish conquest of Istanbul by
Mehmet II in 1453, the city was the center
of the Byzantine Empire. After that date it
became the center of the Ottoman Empire.
After the founding of the Turkish Republic
in 1923, the capital of Turkey became Ankara
