Istanbul, what a great city

Hi people,

I would like to share some pictures I took during my trip to Istanbul.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque

Stunning Istanbul. With one foot in the East and the other in the West, Istanbul bears withness to a glorious past, a troubled present, and a future full of hope. During my time there, I captured some of its most iconic symbols, exploring its colourful streets, the delicious food it offers, while chatting to its hospitable peoples. A truly enriching experience, where history meets contemporary culture.

These series of photos are not comprehensive of the cultural wealth of Istanbul, but nevertheless, they portray moments in the life and daily routine of the people who live there.

Many believes, many cultures and the beauty of peaceful coexistent, when dialogues are based on mutual understanding and not conflict.
