Fun Facts

Istanbul has a population of 13 million. The Basilica Cistern, a must-visit spot, features 336 marble columns supporting the subterranean structure (the cistern featured in the 1963 James Bond film From Russia with Love). For a taste of Ottoman opulence, visit the Dolmabahce Palace where modern Turkey’s first leader, Ataturk, died in 1938 (all clocks in the palace are stopped to reflect the time of his death).
