Istanbul, Turkiye, a poetic junction of continents, unveils its storied tapestry through the lyrical prose of a Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
The Bosphorus, a liquid ribbon, divides the city where minarets pierce the sky like exclamation marks. Ancient domes and spires meld with the vibrancy of bazaars, narrating tales of empires past. Hagia Sophia stands as a silent witness to centuries, while the Blue Mosque enchants with intricate tilework.
In the Grand Bazaar, alleys echo with the chorus of barter, and Galata Tower presides over the city's modern heartbeat. Istanbul, a bridge between epochs, beckons travelers to lose themselves in its transcontinental embrace.
