Is Istanbul on par with other great cities like Paris and Rome?

Question

I personally find it as beautiful as Paris and Rome, and no I'm not Turkish.

Answer 1

Instead of Paris or Rome, I went to Istanbul.  No desire for Rome (Italy) or any of Greece. Paris, I would like to do, but so expensive compared to Tukrey and Ukraine.

Oh - AND I MUST AGREE.

Answer 2

Yes, it's amazing. A perfect mixure of the modern and the oriental. It's one of my favourite cities in the world.
