Among the many monuments for which Istanbul is famous, the centuries-old city walls stand out with
their impressive girth and structure. The first city walls were constructed in the 8th Century B.C. by the
Greek colonists where Topkapı Palace is today to protect the acropolis. With numerous additions and
modifications during their history, they are one of the greatest and most complex fortification systems
ever built.

If you are in Istanbul during the new year week you will see around certain kind of flowers.
Kokina is the Frankenstein plant that emerges during the New Year’s season to decorate the homes of Istanbulites. Romany people forage the plants from forests and tie them together.
Kokina means “red” in Greek, and the Greeks in Istanbul started the tradition of decorating with kokina during Christmas. It is no longer exclusive to Istanbulite Greeks, however, and you can see kokina decorating the houses of Turks and Greeks alike #kokina #kokinaçiçeği #newyearseve #newyearsinistanbul #istanbul #sirkeci #sirkecimansion #sirkecimansionhotel #sirkecigrouphotels #ilkayhotel #lalahanhotel #hotellino #hotellinoistanbul #elanazhotel

Today is the 100th birthday of the Republic of Turkey, which was founded after the first victory against imperialism and still stands like a dagger stuck in the heart of imperialism✌️.
We have become strong and will become even stronger with the path drawn by the founder of our Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and the revolutions he implemented. Long live Turkey forever 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
