First of all, I am pleased to extend my greetings and welcome you all on behalf of the city of Istanbul. You are now in Istanbul: the city of the past and the future, the centre of two great empires, the meeting point of two continents and two seas, the city of poets, tulips, Judas trees, bazaars, fish, boats, seagulls, minarets and fountains spreading over the domes of the Bosphorus.
To the east or to the west, to the previous or to the next; any journey begins from the point where you are now.
Offering endless oppurtunities and secrets in a natural, historic, cultural and architectural environment, Istanbul is a unique city enriching our world for thousands of years.
There is no doubt that our esteemed guests visiting Istanbul will never forget our city.
This city guide has been prepared for you, hoping that you remember Istanbul and say "Merhaba" while far away from us.
The period of time we see you and welcome you in this city was a tremendous pleasure and excitement for us.
Welcome again and a complete "Merhaba".
Arch. Dr. Kadir TOPBAS
Mayor of Metropolitan Istanbul
