About the trip
Istanbul is one of the significant blends. It is an abutment of two major continents-Asia and Europe. Many of us misunderstand Istanbul as the capital of Turkey, but it is not. Turkey's capital is Ankara, while Istanbul is Turkey's largest city. Istanbul has a treasure of mesmerizing mosques, antique architecture, charming cuisines, unique traditions, cultures, intricate churches, palaces, vibrant markets, and the most delicious Turkish delights. As Istanbul straddles two continents; we can say. 'East met West; Istanbul is best!'
