ISTANBUL
The splendid city of Istanbul has many unique and fascinating features. It is a city where
phrase “East meets West” really applies, reaching across two continents, with its old city in
Europe and modern Istanbul situated in Asia, separated by the Bosphorus Strait.
The charm and character of Istanbul lies in its endless variety and jumble of contradictions.
Its fascinating history has left the city an inheritance of splendid palaces, ancient mosques
and churches, hamams (bath-houses) and exotic bazaars. Modern Istanbul has presented
trendy bars and nightclubs, western boutiques, office blocks, and elegant suburbs. The call
to prayer starts each day and the city comes to life with over 11 million residents forming
a chaotic social and cultural mix.
Climate
September is the beginning of autumn in Istanbul and the weather is at its best, as it begins to
cool after a hot summer. Average temperatures vary between 16ºC – 25ºC (61ºF – 77ºF).
