Istanbul by locals – we’re live!

‘If the world was only one country, Istanbul would be its capital’, Napoleon said.

It’s about time we launched the cityblog for the largest city in Europe, former capital of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empire… We’re proud to bring you our Istanbul cityblog!

Spotters Asli, Sebahat, Seda, Tugba and Zekeriya have written about their favorite Istanbul spots, with true love for their city. In this city as  popular with tourists as Istanbul is, visiting local spots is extra special.

Even if you’re not going, we encourage you to take a look at the Istanbul blog. If you read Zekeriya’s explanation on why Istanbul has always beaten Athens and Rome, and haven’t visited Istanbul yet, you’ll feel like hopping on a plane right away!

The iPhone application and PDF cityguide will be  available in a couple of days. Enjoy!
