The answer to these and hundreds of other questions can be found in Istanbul The Ultimate Guide by Saffet Emre Tonguç and Pat Yale, the most up-to-date and lavishly illustrated guide to the city on the market. Istanbul The Ultimate Guide covers not just the well-known tourist sites such as the Topkapı Palace and Blue Mosque, but also the more off-the-beaten-track areas of Istanbul such as Yeniköy and Caddebostan that rarely feature in other books.
