Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, with a population of about 13.4 million people. It is a three-hour ferry ride from Gölcük and several of the characters visit there throughout the course of the book. Sinan takes a job carting televisions there and Irem escapes to Istanbul with Dylan when their relationship becomes too dangerous in Gölcük.
