The most populous city of Turkey and even one of the most populous cities in the world, Istanbul has less space for big outdoor activities.

But being at the junction of the East and the West and one of the major trade centers of the world the city has largely explored the possibility of a number of activities to attract the tourists and in doing this, it has made the local population too to take a keen interest in adventures. The subtropical climate and the sharing of coastline with two different seas have made this place to become one of the favorite tourist destinations for adventure trips over the past few years.
