OK, I just looked up the photographer and it appears that he shoots in many places. This particular collection consists of shots from Istanbul, India, Morocco, and Egypt.

BP editor's got the title wrong. While some of these images might be from İstanbul, most aren't and many couldn't even be from Turkey.

I've been to Istanbul twice, three times in Turkey total. It's a fascinating place with wonderful architecture and very friendly people. Unfortunately, you will find some very aggressive merchants near the mosques trying to get you into their stores, but overall most people are very helpful and personable. I will say that the prayer music that plays five times a day can be very loud, especially the early morning one. The shopping is also good, especially if you like to barter at the Grand Bazaar. And the food is also very tasty, and you always get way more than you can finish. Prices are also very good. I'd recommend a visit to Istanbul, and the rest of the country, to anyone. The beaches in Turkey are some of the most beautiful in the world. And don't forget to try the raki!
