LOCATION
Istanbul , a metropolis of 14 million people, is the only city in the world that stands astride two continents, divided by the narrow, 32-kilometer (20-mile) long Bosporus Strait , connecting the Mediterranean and Sea of Marmara to the south and the Black Sea to the north.
From its founding as Byzantium in 600 B.C., this strategically located city has been a focus of maritime trade and commerce as well as an outpost and threshold for cultural exchange ...
This digital camera image was taken from the International Space Station. When this image was taken, strong currents carried turbid coastal waters from the Black Sea through the Bosporus Strait and into the Sea of Marmara.
The city was the capital of two successive empires - the Byzantine and the Ottoman - for two millenia.
The great monuments of both empires, such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque ,Hippodrome and Topkapi Palace are clustered around Sultanahmet District. Archeological Museum, Turkish & Islamic Arts Museum, Mosaic Museum, Underground Basilica Cistern , as well as the famous Grand Bazaar are also within walking distance...
Istanbul Hotel Sari Konak is ideally located in the district of Sultanahmet , the historic district of Istanbul, for those wishing to explore the old city. Being able to walk from the hotel to so many historical places makes your stay less fractious than in cities where transport is necessary for a day out.
We are only 20km away from the International Istanbul Atatürk Airport.
