About Istanbul, Turkey
ISTANBUL
Istanbul,
an attraction point for many civilizations for centuries, nestles a unique historic and cultural heritage. The world famous Bosphorus, lying between not only two banks of the city, but two continents, hosts live examples of such a richness.
The leading historic values that place Istanbul in a peerless position among world metropoles belong to Byzantine and Ottoman periods while the history of human settlement in the city dates back 300,000 years.
Istanbul itself is more like a giant outdoor museum with its palaces, castles, city walls, and museums. Still, current importance attached to Istanbul as a world city is not limited to its history. This modern city has always been called "the country’s window to the west." The health industry proves this modernism. Thousands of internationally approved doctors operate at global standards in modern hospitals and medical facilities, with the hi-tech equipment used in developed countries.
City center
