The City of Istanbul
Straddling the Bosphorus, its skyline studded with domes and minarets, Istanbul is truly one of the great romantic cities in the world. Its history tracks back from Byzantium to Constantinople to its place at the head of the Ottoman Empire. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents.
The city has many architecturally significant entities. Throughout its long history, Istanbul has acquired a reputation for being a cultural and ethnic melting pot. As a result, there are many historical mosques, churches, syagogues, palaces, castles and towers to visit in the city.
Ortaköy
Ortaköy is a neighbourhood, formerly a small town, located in the middle of the European bank of the Bosphorus (the Turkish name means "Middle Village"). It is part of the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul. In the past, the town was a cosmopolitan area, with communities of Turks, Greeks, Armenians and Jews. Today, the neighborhood still hosts many different religious structures. It is also a popular spot for locals and tourists alike with its popular buildings that host art galleries, clubs, cafes, bars, and restaurants.
