There are some cities in the world. They differ from others in terms of their geographical location, sources, historical background, and the opportunities they offer. They attract people. They have stories, their own souls; These cities live, breathe and make them live. Istanbul is perhaps the first among these cities.
Spending time in Istanbul gives people a pleasure that is difficult to describe. In this city, you encounter history every step of the way. As you pass from one street to the next, you stop and watch the scenery in front of you and hug your camera. Yahya Kemal's "I looked at you from a hill yesterday, dear Istanbul!" When you look at Istanbul from a hill, you seem to understand why. Here is Bosphorus!
