'Bosphorus Private'

Home to the point at which Turkey's European and Asian subsections meet, the Bosphorus strait has always held great importance, dating back to ancient Greek, Roman, Persian, and Byzantine eras, the Ottoman Empire, and up to the present day. Renowned for its rich culture, interesting people, outstanding cuisine, unique architecture, and unmistakable style, this supreme landscape has inspired residents to develop properties that pay homage to their country’s glorious past and herald its future. Assouline's 'Bosphorus Private' opens the doors to 20 private homes and their owners, each of which has its own special story to tell. Accompanied by 170 illustrations and authored by Bosphorus native Nevbahar Koç, the 280 page hardback tome is the ultimate exploration of this exceptional channel and its marriage of two continents and the countless creative influences it generates.
