Very colourful photo. I have been last year to Istanbul one of the best cities I have ever visited. A fantastic combination of architecture, history, food, culture, sea, strategic position, and I found this authentic combination very cheap. By the way I did not know of its Bulgarian name.
Thanks :) It's all of those, true. One of the best locations ever to build a city, as time has proved. The Bulgarian name means City of the Tsar (title equal to Emperor).
I see it should be similar to the Russian Language
