One of my favourite books of all time. Sure, I’m a bit biased, being a Byzantine nerd, but I have a feeling that out of all books that I read on this topic, this would still reign supreme. The balance between the author’s travelogue perspective and tales of ancient glory was perfect. Fidler’s narrative voice was also very comfy. I love this book so much.

I don't think I've read an historical account of a city which goes between the history and a holiday the author went on, but I loved it. It kept me engaged and linked the historical events and structures with the modern city of Istanbul.
