  In creating this brand new series, we have listened to travellers' needs and created a series that enables travellers to travel the way they want to. It is a City Diary that takes readers to the best events and festivals around. Its itineraries chapter allows travellers to plan their time effectively. New Neighbourhood structure better reflects how visitors see the city - holistically rather than isolated 'points of interest'. There is new directory of practical information. New Themes section gives eat, sleep and shop information - and allows the reader to access the city by subculture (eating out, gay culture, art and more). It has a detachable pull-out map. It is authored by a long term Istanbul resident. Istanbul is served by 13 low cost air routes including London Luton.
