Nomas explores a different destination in every issue. The magazine’s editors and photographers dive into local life: Art, fashion, food culture, famous and everyday people, everything that makes a place unique in an ever-changing world.
Istanbul is changing. The Turkish government is determined to get the country among the planet’s strongest economies within the next ten years. New towns for hundreds of thousands of inhabitants are being planned in the city’s suburbs. Bosphorus 2 (Kanal Istanbul) is contemplated, a third bridge is under construction and yet another airport is under way. Istanbul is expanding, bursting at the seams and ultimately crowded.
For all that it remains one of the most fascinating metropolises on the planet.
We travelled over there and walked everywhere, from Galata to Sultanahmet and from the European Cihangir to the exquisite Karakoy. We went over to Beylerbeyi and Kadikoy (the ancient Chalcedon), we crossed the Bosphorus several times, we saw the Byzantine walls built by Theodosius II, we met people of the Arts and Letters, photographed street-food sellers, talked with the female workers at the local hamam baths, we ate millions of meatballs and billions of baklava sweets, we drank tea while gazing at the Bosphorus, we had our patience tried by taxi drivers, we drank Turkish coffee in the narrow streets of Beyoglu, we got lost in the lanes of Pera, we chatted with fishermen on Galata bridge, we elbowed our way through Istiklal but we also made new friends.
Nomas is the Greek word for nomad. Become an urban nomad and travel with Nomas around the world.
