New Year in Istanbul

Heading to the Turkish capital for New Year's with my friends. A great stop for New Year's, of certain interest and with great artistic value, without however turning our noses up at the fun and the nightlife of this truly modern city.

we went to celebrate New Year's Eve first at a splendid restaurant that served only fish on the Bosphorus, and then we danced all night at Black, a famous venue known in Istanbul for the great beauty of the women who go in.
