Description
Summary:Istanbul is uniquely poised across the European and Asian continents. Over 8000 years, it has been an imperial capital to three empires, shaped and reshaped by a wholly unique mix of migrant cultures spanning from Eastern Europe into North Africa and the Middle East. The cycles of economic boom and urban sprawl make Istanbul a vibrant place. The streets are an inspiration to local artists and fertile ground for entrepreneurs. Richard Quest immerses himself into the life of the city to discover the true character of Istanbulites, their passions and unique food culture.
