Robertson has been in town to explore potential co-operation opportunities between the UK and Turkey. He was quick to stress just how important it is to convince the International Olympic Committee about the vision and reasons behind the bid. He pointed out that where Athens had spelt a return to the home of the Olympics and London’s bid had highlighted the desire to inspire kids to participate in sport – it is essential that Turkey stresses its motives loud and clear.

This modern development of one, two and three bedroom apartments as well as three and four bed duplexes is located in Beylikduzu, right next to the metro bus station from where you can get straight in to Istanbul city centre.
The development offers a whole range of facilities for its residents including an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts, a basketball court, squash court and even a dance-training centre. There will be Turkish baths, a spa and lots of outdoor space – a rare commodity in central Istanbul. Prices start from just £68,604.
