Istanbul - by Andrey Vlasov (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

There are a few cities in the world that are almost the same age as the human civilization. These cities have faced a lot of trials, wars, coups and despite everything have succeeded to stay, keep all their fortitude and preserve their historical heritage. Today we will visit one of the most ancient and interesting cities of the world - Istanbul.

Located on two coasts and washed by two seas (the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara) this city is an heir and represents both European and Asian culture.

After exploring the city we will visit one more unique place that is located on the territory of modern Turkey - Cappadocia.

Cappadocia is a territory in the central part of the country, an area with rich centuries-old history and unusual landscapes.

After visiting Göreme town, Uçhisar and other beautiful places of Cappadocia our little but extremely interesting journey comes to an end.
