Istanbul.
A city where two continents collide and history whispers from every corner.
A place where East meets West.
A city with a vibrant culture that explodes in a symphony of sights, sounds and exquisite flavours. I had a chance to explore this magical city many times in the past. Istanbul is a melting pot of cultures with history that spans centuries. This rich history is reflected in the city's architecture, cuisine and language. The city was once the capital of Byzantine Empire before becoming the Ottoman Empire's capital for over 500 years. Istanbul is home to a diverse population, with people from all over Turkey and the world. This diversity is evident in the city's vibrant neighborhoods, bustling markets, and lively nightlife.
And while words can hardly capture its essence and I can write volumes about this incredible city, my photos might just offer a glimpse into the enchanting city I discovered. But I believe pictures often speak louder than words. So, while I'll share a few thoughts, I mostly want my photos to transport you to the heart of Istanbul.
