Istanbul Airport

Located in the center of the Old World, Istanbul is an important megapol, famous for its historical monuments and magnificent natural landscapes. It is the only city built on two continents, where Asia and the European Continents are separated by a narrow sea passage "Bosphorus". Having a history of more than 2500 years, Istanbul became an important trade center following its establishment in this strategic region where sea and land embrace. The historical city of Istanbul is located on a peninsula surrounded by the Marmara Sea, the Bosphorus and the Halic on three sides. It has been the capital of 3 world empires, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Turks, and over 120 emperors and sultans ruled here for more than 1600 years. It is the only city in the world with this feature. During the development process, the city was expanded 4 times by building the walls further west. Surrounded by the walls of the Roman period of the 5th century, Istanbul, which is built on 7 hills, is decorated with Sultan mosques, like masterpieces of Turkish art and “crowns” placed there. The skyline of the city is a beautiful, magnificent and peaceful sight in every way. A very sure natural port, Haliç played an important role in the development of the city. It is the fortune of Istanbul that its main roads are located at the crossroads where it reaches the sea, an easily defensible peninsula, ideal climate, rich and generous nature, strategic control of the Bosphorus and its geographical location in the center of the world.
