Title: Istanbul.... Constantinople... of old
Post by: JohnF on February 20, 2017, 15:39:03 PM

The Daily Fail has an article today about old Istanbul, or Constantinople as it was known then.

As it happens, I remembered some of these from an article in the Telegraph last year:

Both worth a look at, especially if you've ever walked over the Galata Bridge towards Emininou.
