Car Rental Istanbul
Istanbul or Constantinoupolis is often described as "the crossroads of Europe and Asia". It is the largest city in Turkey and occupies both sides of an east-west land bridge. Through the city's heart runs the sea channel Bosphorus which separates Europe and Asia.
It reaches north to The Black Sea and south to the Marmara Sea. Its shores offer a delightful mixture of past and present, splendor and simple beauty, modern hotels, wooden mansions, marble palaces, rustic stone fortresses, elegant compounds and small fishing villages.
One of the ways of getting there is by a car rental, which you can easily book through Economy Car Rentals.
Istanbul is served by two airports, the Atatürk International Airport (IST) and the Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW).

The city is divided into three parts - the old city, the new city and the Asiatic side. Istanbul, once known as the capital of capital cities, has many unique features. It is the only city in the world to straddle two continents, and the only one to have been a capital during two consecutive empires - Christian and Islamic.
The city has been a shopper's paradise for centuries because of the famous Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Bazaar and Arasta Bazaar, with their Ottoman architectural atmosphere. There are flea markets, craft and antique markets in many of Istanbul's streets, as well as street vendors.

Istanbul has also many modern shopping centers and shopping malls, fashion boutiques and department stores to choose from. With a rental car you can drive around the city and visit some of the attractions, such as:
Hagia Sophia "Ayia Sofia":
Famous for its impressive size, remarkable architecture and beautiful mosaics and frescoes. The massive ochre-coloured domed structure known as Hagia Sophia is one of Istanbul’s most popular attractions.
The Blue Mosque:
The blue mosque or "Sultan Ahmet Cami" is with its six minarets the biggest mosque of Istanbul.
Topcapi Palace:
This enormous palace was the Imperial residence of Ottoman sultans for almost 400 years. Although much of the palace is not accessible, the daily tours of the Harem are of great interest to tourists.
Princes' Islands:
The Princes' Islands or "Adalar", are a chain of nine islands off the coast of Istanbul in the Sea of Marmara. During the summer months the Princes’ Islands are popular destinations for day trips from Istanbul. As there is no traffic on the Islands, the only transport being horse and cart, they are incredibly peaceful compared with the city of Istanbul.
The Grand Bazaar "Kapali Carsisi":
The Covered Bazaar is one of the biggest of its kind in the world.
