Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.[2] It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.[3]

The modern Turkish name Istanbul (IPA [is'tanbul] or colloquial [?s'tanbul]) has been used to describe this city, in a range of different variants, from as far back as the 10th century; it has been the common name for the city in normal Turkish speech since before the conquest of 1453. Etymologically, it derives from the Greek phrase "e?? t?? ?????" [istim'bolin] or in the Aegean dialect "e?? t?? ?????" [istam'bolin] (modern Greek "st?? ????" [stim'boli]), which means "in the city", "to the city" or "downtown".[4]

The city has also been nicknamed "The City on Seven Hills" because the historic peninsula, the oldest part of the city, was built on seven hills (just like Rome), each of which bears a historic mosque.[7] The hills are represented in the city's emblem with seven triangles, above which rise four minarets. Two of many other old nicknames of Istanbul are Vasilevousa Polis (the Queen of Cities), which rose from the city's importance and wealth throughout the Middle Ages; and Dersaadet, originally Der-i Saadet (the Door to Happiness) which was first used towards the end of 19th century and is still remembered today.

With the Turkish Postal Service Law of 28 March 1930, the Turkish authorities officially requested foreigners to adopt Istanbul as the sole name also in their own languages.[8]

June 12, 2008

The Grand Bazaar has been a feature of Istanbul for over 700 years; an open air marketplace, filled with noise and colour where carpets, jewellery, hats and clothing purchases are all subject to fierce, but friendly, haggling. However, that traditional image of shopping in Turkey’s biggest city is under threat as today’s more affluent generation demand shiny glass and metal malls so they can shop in relative comfort.

14. Good news from Istanbul
May 05, 2008

I am always impressed by a well-rounded acronym. It shows the research team is delighted by both science and language. In this case, we have the cumbersome An International Study of Rimonabant in Dyslipidemia with Atherogenic Risk in Abdominally Obese Patients distilled into the more convenient ADAGIO-LIPIDS. It is a shame that the team felt they had to cheat — I suppose AISRIDARAOP is not quite so catchy. Perhaps it works better in French. Two new reports based on the clinical trial of acomplia (generic name rimonabant) were presented on the 29th April in Istanbul at the 77th European Atheros... (read more)

15. Our Mediterranean Cruise on the Millennium - A Passenger's Review
May 01, 2008

This cruise began for us with a two day stay in Istanbul minus one suitcase that Delta Airlines lost. We had been in Istanbul for a couple of days at the end of our last cruise, and my wife fell in love with it. We spent the time checking out things we didn't see on the last trip, and shopping for underwear, pantyhose, shoes, and other things Kathy needed after the lost luggage fiasco. There we were, at the Grand Bazaar, Kathy in a pair of my boxer shorts and a T shirt the ship gave her. But we found some great bargains on knock-offs. The Millennium set sail for Kusadasi (Ephesus) Turk... (read more)
