Istanbul
has a population of more than 10 million
with its autonomously governed 28
municipalities.These municipalities have the
initiative to take some decisions but the final
decisions are made by the Istanbul Metropolitan
Municipal Government.
The city lies upon two different continents:
Europe and Asia. The continents are connected to
each other with two bridges.
The strait lying between the two continents is
called
"The Bosphorus"
meaning "The Strait of the Cow" in
Ancient Greek. The city is called as "City of
Seven Hills" because of its hills. These hills
are depicted on the carpet designs and
miniatures. Because of being that hilly, the
construction of a subway system brings a heavy
burden on the municipal government's shoulders.
Apart from being historically and
architecturally spectacular, with a skyline of
mosques and minarets surrounded by water,
Istanbul is the only city in the world that lies
on two continents. There's plenty of sunshine,
green and blue space,
good food with great prices.
