'The best travel guide to Istanbul' - The Times
Practical and informative, readable and vividly described, this is the definitive guide to and story of Istanbul, by those who know it best.
This is the 2009 revised and updated edition of the classic guide to Istanbul, originally published thirty-seven years previously, which continues to inform and enchant visitors.
Taking the reader on foot through this captivating city - European City of Culture 2010 - the authors describe the historic monuments and sites of what was once Constantinople and the capital in turn of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, in the context of the great living city.
Woven throughout are vivid anecdotes, secret histories, hidden gems and every major place of interest the traveller will want to see.
