At the intersection of Europe and Asia, ancient meets modern in a city of unbridled energy and spirit. The beating heart of humanity; an unknowable labyrinth of alleyways, a feeling of being jubilantly alive and present. An intoxicating aroma of green, sweet cardamom from the spice merchants, the fragrant aromas of ripening fruit, the lushly romantic depth of Turkish rose. A rich, true note of exquisite saffron creates an unforgettable memory of a mystical city.
