Travel between Venice & Istanbul.

Italy
Italy has a lot of "ancient culture". This culture mostly relates direct to a period 2000 years ago where Italy ruled Western Europe (Roman Empire). In the modern era you can think of music (operas), fashion, food and drinks that conquered the world (pizza, spaghetti, cappuccino) as well as the Roman Catholic religion (Vatican in heart of Rome).

The city of Venice needs no introduction, because it is one of the best known and beloved tourist cities in the world. Major attractions are the Gondolas, the many Bridges and St. Marc´s Square. Once a year there is also the traditional Carnival with beautiful masks and dresses. A few times per year there could be flooding...

Istanbul, Constantinople & Byzanthium... Three names for the same city is just one proof for the long history and diversity of this city-between-two-continents. Istanbul is one of the largest cities in the whole of Europe!
