"Tonic Trek: Istanbul, Part 2
On Monday, Tonic discussed where to stay and play in Turkey's big city, highlighting popular areas such as Sultanahmet and Taksim and describing how Istanbul spans both Europe and Asia at the Bosphorus waterway. In previous eras, Constantinople (as it was called back then) has served as the capital city for the Roman, Byzantine, Empire and Ottoman Empires and remains one of the world's most populous cities as Istanbul. In our second look at the one-time imperial city, Tonic explores the local pleasures and pastimes while warning about tourist scams that are sadly far too common."
