Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey, but it was until 1923. It is also the largest city not only in Turkey, but in the whole of Europe, with fifteen million inhabitants larger than many European countries! Istanbul has existed in the same place for over two thousand years, for the last fifteen centuries as the capital of a mighty empire, so of course it contains an amazing number of monuments and more – it’s a huge modern city after all! Modern technologies, in this case drones, will also help us discover the charms of Istanbul. Many bird’s-eye views of Istanbul can be found on Youtube, and our favorites are presented below!
