The traveller gets exactly what he needs, and in a handy format.
THE TIMES The author seems to have covered every road in the
country, and has something of interest to say about virtually every
site. COUNTRY LIFE Istanbul is the only city in the world that
stands astride two continents, spreading across from Europe into
Asia at the southern end of the Bosphorus, the incomparably
beautiful strait linking the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara in
northwestern Turkey. This Companion Guide to Istanbul goes as far
as the region around Marmara from the Bosphorus to the Dardanelles,
which flows into the Aegean past the historic ruins of Troy on its
Asian shore.Revised and updated for this new edition, the book is a
guide to the Byzantine and Ottoman monuments and to the many other
places of great historic interest around the Marmara, including
Edirne, Bursa and Iznik, ancient Nicaea, as well as the renowned
archaeological site of Homeric Troy. It is also an introduction to
Turkey itself and to its people and their way of life, which they
are more than willing to share with the traveller who takes the
time to become acquainted with them. JOHN FREELY has lived and
worked on America's east coast, in Britain, and around the
Mediterranean, but is long-time Professor of Physics at the
University of the Bosphorus, Istanbul, and has been resident for
many years in Turkey. His understanding of the land and its people
has made him a respected interpreter of Turkey ancient and modern.
