James Bond in Istanbul | Part 3 | Ian Fleming (iii), "The Tunnel of Rats" and the Byzantines

British Culture: Albion Never Dies

Don't be shy, send me a message!

In Ian Fleming's 1957 novel, James Bond 007 visits Istanbul. The city is wonderfully described, from a British perspective. Having studied Turkish for over 20 years, I go through Fleming's chapters on Turkey, and give my own perspective.

This is Part 3 of a series initially focusing on Fleming. You can listen to these in any order, having read the books or not. I give real-world insights on places visited by the world's most celebrated fictitious spy.

After this, you can decide how far I go down the Bond rabbit hole!
