Sailing Bosporus | Weekend Between Europe and Asia - Istanbul, Turkey
The pursuit of outdoor happiness brings us to Bosporus Strait, a bridge between Europe and Asia for too good to be true sailing adventure!! Its not only the fact that we will sail in between continents, just over a weekend, but we will also follow the highlights of Constantinople.
The city today known as Istanbul has been the site of human settlement for approximately three thousand years. The settlement was founded by Thracian tribes between the 13th and 11th centuries BC, whose earliest known name is Lygos. It was colonized by the Greeks in the 7th century BC. It fell to the Roman Republic in AD 196, and was known as Byzantium until 330, when it was renamed Constantinople and made the new capital of the Roman Empire. During late antiquity, the city rose to be the largest of the western world, with a population peaking at close to half a million people. Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire, which ended with the Muslim conquest in 1453. Constantinople then became the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
The name game does not end in here. Despite the Turkey aspiration to European Union, which you may easily find substantial - location and historical wise, the influence of Central Asia is present here, even within the city name itself - ISTANbul.
