Hi friends! It's Monday. There is such a sign or tradition - to start something new from Monday. Spring reigns on the street! As much as winter wants to go, her time is over. Despite the fact that night is still quite frosty, the day is sunny and it is warm outside! Spring is my favorite time of the year, nature awakens from sleep, the birds sing louder, the sun shines brighter. In many countries, spring comes at different times.

Here are some interesting facts about this city. Istanbul is the largest city of Turkey on the banks of the Bosphorus Strait. This metropolis is the only one in the country, and all over the world, which is located simultaneously in Europe and Asia. It is through Istanbul that the geographical border between the two continents passes, and it is here that the waters of the two seas, Black and Marble, meet. The European part of the city and the Asian quarters are connected by several bridges, the movement of which never stops.

Istanbul managed to visit the capital of four empires: Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman. Has its own characteristics and local climate. It is subtropical, but because the city is located on the border of the corresponding weather zone, cold winds often blow here. You can come to Istanbul in order to see the world's famous attractions, and just walk through the streets and enjoy the atmosphere of this wonderful city.
