4. This beautiful strait, sometimes spelled Bosporus and sometimes Bosphorus, was so called from the earliest ages by the ancients; from the mythology of 10, the mistress of Jupiter, having passed over it in the shape of a cow. It resembles the Dardanelles, in length, breadth and current, and like it, is a narrow separation which divides Europe from Asia; but it has many features familiar to itself. Instead of being a solitary stream running between deserted shores, it is a body of water full of life and animation, winding its way through banks covered with palaces and villages, shaded with magnificent forest trees, presenting to the eye, at every mile, a new scene of crowded existence.

5. Bosphorus Bridge, unique chance to step from one continent (Europe) to another (Asia) in 2 minutes.

About Istanbul

Istanbul liegt am Bosporus in Europa und Asien: byzantinische und osmanische Bauten, lebhafte Basare und Fähren zwischen zwei Kontinenten.

Auf der historischen Halbinsel stehen die größten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Hagia Sophia, Blaue Moschee und Hippodrom liegen sich in Sultanahmet gegenüber, die Basilikazisterne erstreckt sich unter den Straßen, und der Topkapı-Palast breitet sich auf dem Hügel über dem Goldenen Horn aus. Wenige Schritte entfernt sind der Große Basar und der Gewürzbasar seit Jahrhunderten Handelsplätze, und die Süleymaniye-Moschee des großen osmanischen Baumeisters Sinan krönt einen der sieben Hügel der Stadt.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
