Istanbul. A city of contradictions divided by a strait which continues to grow despite its political and economic woes. Endearingly chaotic, the giant Turkish cosmopolis is as historic and nostalgic as it is modern and young.

Old neoclassical city apartments have become ateliers, art galleries and concept stores, former Bosphorus homes are now three-floor restaurants or cocktail bars with a view. From the wealthy Bosphorus coast down through the urbane backstreets of Beyoglu, to the more bohemian Moda, every neighborhood has its own story and spirit, gaining new purpose with the influx of youthful creativity. A cinema in a former shoe factory, a private Hammam, Anatolian rock and roll, a summer mansion turned art gallery, cocktails on the Bosphorus and gourmet Turkish street food...Get lost in Istanbul, the city of opposites.
