Strolling Through Istanbul

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Long acknowledged to be the "best travel guide to Istanbul" ( Times of London) this classic work shows Istanbul the way it is seen at its best--on foot. An informative guide and ideal companion, it describes major monuments in detail with reference to history and architecture. Although the main emphasis of the book is on Byzantine and Ottoman antiquities, Istanbul is not treated as a museum but as a living city, full of delights. Detailed walking itineraries are provided.
