Attractive Istanbul Turkey Vacation Apartments

By Istaley Hapart


This vibrant, cosmopolitan metropolis, with thirteen million people, is the world's third largest city. It is the cultural, financial, and economic capital of the nation. It is the perfect exotic location for you next trip, with a wonderful selection of Istanbul Turkey vacation apartments for rent.

You can visit two continents without leaving this city. The eastern part is located in Asia, while the western half is located in Europe. This is where the two continents are divided by the Bosphorus Strait. This waterway runs from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara.

This has been a hub of water and land trade routes dating back to ancient times. It has alternatively been the easiest entry point to the other continent, and a barrier to crossing over, depending on the times. Rich influences from around the world are readily found here.

Ottoman, Byzantine, Roman, and Greek cultures were all dominant, in their turn. The capitols of several empires were here. A variety of influences from each are still observable in foods, activities, and architecture. You will find plenty to keep you busy during your stay here.

Try walking the 3km (1.86 mi.) pedestrian way or wondering the back streets while the locals go about their daily routines. Tour ancient architectural sites and ancient and modern art museums. Go to five and a half centuries old bazaars and find and bargain for some hidden treasures that will look perfect back home. There is plenty to keep you busy all day, and at night there is the entertainment of exciting clubs.

You can relive ancient history and experience another culture. Taking time off from work should take you completely away from your normal everyday existence at home and give you experiences and memories you will remember for a lifetime. A wide variety of comfortable Istanbul Turkey vacation apartments for rent at reasonable rates can make it all possible.
