Istanbul
From Openwaterpedia
Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Its Old City reflects cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here. In the Sultanahmet district, the open-air, Roman-era Hippodrome was for centuries the site of chariot races, and Egyptian obelisks also remain.
Open Water Swimming
- Jari Cennet Tammi is en route to an unsupported stage swim from Istanbul, Turkey to Cadiz, Spain that is estimated to take 7 years along the entire northern Mediterranean Sea coast. His accommodations will be in a tent and guest houses, whatever is most suitable at the time.
