Istanbul Introduction
 
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, located on the Bosphorus strait, and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Halic Bay, in the northwest of the country. Istanbul is a city of synthesis which realizes in an atmosphere of tolerance the uniting of the East and the West on the subjects of culture, art and religion, at the borders of two separate continents with one arm reaching out to Asia and the other arm to Europe.
