The highlight of Istanbul’s cultural life is the annual International Arts and Culture Festival, in June and July. World-class artists – musicians,dancers,singers-perform in the city’s various venues. The quality and wealth of the Festival is truly astonishing.
During the rest of the year the city offers a full program of opera, theater, ballet, films, concerts and exhibitions. The Cemal Resit Rey Hall and the Ataturk Cultural Center host a majority of these events.
Lighter entertainment thrives in this cosmopolitan city. Nightclubs with programs ranging from a selection of Turkish songs to the famous belly dancing will enthrall you. Modern discos, cabaret and jazz clubs in the Taksim-Harbiye district attract both the young and the old. In Sultanahmet a number of restaurants in restored Byzantine and Ottoman buildings serve traditional meals in their unique and evocative atmosphere.
Kumkapi, with its many taverns, bars, sidewalk restaurants and strolling minstrels, always offers a good meal and a superb show. In the same vein, the Cicek Pasaji in the Beyoglu district attracts a regular crowd of revellers.

Betty Botter had some butter,
“But,” she said, “this butter’s bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.

that would make my batter better.”
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So was better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.
Said the flea, “Let us fly!”
Said the fly, “Let us flee!”
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
A bitter biting bittern
Bit a better brother bittern,

By the better bitten bittern,
Said: “I’m a bitter biter bit, alack!” ,
I am not the pheasant plucker,
I’m the pheasant plucker’s mate.
I am only plucking pheasants
’cause the pheasant plucker’s running late.

The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I’m sure she sells seashore shells.
