With Indian Dental AssociationPresident Dr Pramod Guravaddressing friends, long-

term partners and guests of the FDIWorld Dental Federation yesterday atthe Istanbul Congress Center duringan official lunch, the eyes of the inter-national dental community are slowlyturning away from Istanbul to New

Delhi, where the next Annual WorldDental Congress will be held nextyear from 11 to 14 September at the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida.

It will be the second congress heldby the organisation in the Asian coun-try after the one in 2004. Gurav saidthat his country has become a land ofopportunity for dentistry, with oral

health care awareness and access tooral health care constantly increas-ing. He remarked that the congress,which will be held under the theme “Abillion smiles welcome the world ofdentistry”, is in line with its and thegovernment of India’s ambitious goalto achieve optimum oral health for all.

“We are delighted that the FDI has

once again chosen India for its land-mark event—it is a wise choice,” Gu-rav said.

The decision to host the next con-gress in India was made back in May.Exactly ten years after the congresstook place in New Delhi, the event willbe hosted by the FDI in collaborationwith the Indian Dental Association.The association currently has over50,000 members and operatesthrough 28 state branches, more than350 local branches and 1 defencebranch. It aims to achieve optimal oralhealth for every Indian by 2020.

India currently boasts the largestdental workforce in the world. In addi-tion, an estimated 20,000 dental stu-dents graduate from the country’s300 dental schools every year. Themarket there, worth around US$50million according to industry experts,

offers huge growth opportunities fordental manufacturers, especially forproducers of dental implants andprostheses.

Besides an impressive scientificprogramme, the congress in NewDelhi will feature early breakfastmeetings and Meet the Experts ses-sions aimed at bringing together theexperts in a specific subject and asmall group of dentists in an interac-tive setting, the Indian Dental Associ-ation said. Hands-on courses supple-menting the lectures will provide amore intimate and constructive learn-ing environment designed to developclinical skills and practices relevant tomodern dental practice and today’scutting-edge dentistry.

The Year in Review meetings, in-troduced at the centenary congress inHong Kong last year will provide addi-

tional focused learning opportuni-ties. Interactive discussions on prac-tical cases will deal with specificcases discussed directly with promi-nent speakers.

More information about nextyear’s congress is available online at

www.fdi2014.org.in or at the 2014 FDIAWDC booth (B188 & B189) in the ex-hibition hall on Level 5. For informa-tion and news about this year’s eventin Istanbul, please visit the DentalTribune website at www.dentaltri-bune.com or scan the QR code at thebottom left corner of this page.

News Friday&Saturdayday, 30–31 August 2013

Iam just at the beginning of whatpromises to be a very excitingtwo-year term as FDI President.

There is much to build upon from thework of my predecessor, Dr OrlandoMonteiro da Silva. We have the rightprojects, the means and the expert-ise to fulfil our ambitions. But first—and this may seem a strange ques-tion, as we are in the final stages ofthe FDI Annual World Dental Con-gress—what is the FDI, and whatdoes it mean to be part of it? My ownsimple definition is that the FDI isthe authoritative voice of dentistryworldwide. That is a powerfulclaim—and it is a powerful positionin which to be.

I would go even further to say thatthe FDI is a truly global organisationand, as the only one serving the spe-cific needs of dentists, it is unique.Part of what makes it unique has beenin evidence during the course of thecongress and the FDI World DentalParliament, held simultaneously. TheFDI represents the worldwide solidar-ity of dentists: if you want to reach theworld, you do it through the FDI. Wecertainly hope that we have reachedyou, congress participants, duringyour time here in Istanbul.

Some of the sessions that partici-pants have attended over the last few

days reflect the FDI’s priorities overthe last 12 months or more. For exam-ple, on 29 August, a session was held

to assess what effect the MinamataConvention on Mercury may have onthe dental profession. Since the con-vention, which will be signed in Japanin October this year, covers restric-tions on the mining of, access to, andtrade in mercury, it will necessarilyhave an impact on the future avail-ability and use of one of dentistry’s

key restorative materials, dentalamalgam, an inert compound con-taining 50% mercury. The FDI, amongother groups, successfully argued fora phase-down rather than phase-outof amalgam. The discussions here inIstanbul measured that success butassessed the implications.

On the same day, we saw thelaunch of what is set to become thekey link in the FDI’s Vision 2020 ar-mour for 2014: the new tablet-baseddata-retrieval application from whichthe FDI will endeavour to gain deeperknowledge about the socio-eco-nomic, behavioural and literacy as-pects of oral health worldwide. Forthe moment, this is a pilot project in-volving dentists and their patients ina few selected dental practices on allthe continents. However, when weroll it out in full, the aim is to provideto our members the tools for analysisof the survey results in order to be ina position to support and advise gov-ernments worldwide on aspects oforal health policy.

This, like all FDI initiatives, islinked to other areas under discus-sion, for example at the World OralHealth Forum, which addressed oral

health within the context of theUnited Nations’ initiative on non-communicable diseases (NCD).Readers will recall that the FDI hasbeen a strong supporter of the NCDinitiative and, along with like-minded partners, succeeded in hav-ing oral health included in the NCDagenda.

Oral disease is not, in mostcases, a life and death issue, al-though evidence reported duringthe course of the FDI Science Com-mittee session suggests an estab-lished link between oral diseaseand other NCDs, such as diabetes.However, even though oral diseaseis not generally fatal, it should notblind us to the fact that toothacheequals pain, can mean time offschool or work, or loss in self-confi-dence, or have other deleterious ef-fects on daily life.

People in developed countries aremuch more aware of disease thanthose in developing countries are.That is why it is important for govern-ments worldwide to be aware of oralhealth and adopt measures to im-prove the oral health of their nationalpopulations.

This congress has, we hope,proved to be an inspiration in termsof the continuing education it has of-fered to people from all over theworld and the opportunities it hasprovided for exchanges with col-leagues from other countries. But ithas also been important in terms ofits contribution to the ongoing de-bate on oral health and generalhealth within governments and mul-tilateral institutions.

I am looking forward to hearingfrom you, and meeting you in a yearfrom now in New Delhi in India forwhat already promises to be an excit-ing congress.

The Indian Dental Association’spartnership with Unilever OralCare brand Pepsodent is help-

ing children and their families in thesouthern cities of Chennai and Coim-batore to improve their oral health.Initially, the partners offered free

dental screenings to determine theoral health status of the patients,collecting data that will be comparedwith data gathered at the end of theprogramme to determine the impactof the partnership’s oral health-pro-motion activities.

The partnership’s activities havetwo distinct strands: one focused ondentists, the other on school children.In the first strand, the partners traindentists in behaviour-change tech-niques and provide materials to helpthem raise awareness among theirpatients of the importance of brush-ing twice a day with a fluoride tooth-paste to prevent oral disease. In theschools programme, pupils are givena personalised dental health planwith free toothbrushes and samplesof toothpaste.

The ultimate aim of the partner-ship project is to develop an effective,comprehensive oral health educationsystem for Indian children that couldbe implemented across the country.

The FDI and Unilever are lookingforward to reporting on more of thesuccesses of the Live.Learn.Laugh.partnership with the Indian Dental As-sociation at next year’s Annual World

Detecting and managing po-tentially malignant dis-eases of the mouth still pose

challenges to dental professionalsworldwide. At the 2013 FD AWDC,Worldental Daily had the opportu-nity to speak with FDI presenterProf. Stephen Porter from the UCLEastman Dental Institute in Lon-don about new risk factors, preven-tion strategies and why actorMichael Douglas is not a goodposter boy for changing awarenessof throat and mouth cancer.

I Worldental Daily: A recent studyon Turkish dental patients in cen-tral Anatolia has shown that onlyone in two people are aware of oralcancer. Are these results represen-tative of most people’s knowledgeabout the condition nowadays?

Prof. Stephen Porter: It is not un-common for individuals not to beaware that cancer can arise in themouth. Indeed, there are studies indi-cating that even patients without can-cer who attend clinics that specialisein mouth cancer are unaware of thepossibility. This trend regarding a lackof awareness occurs across the globe,although it varies between countries.

IWith celebrities like actor MichaelDouglas struggling publicly with

the disease, do you think aware-ness of malignant diseases of themouth is increasing?

Undoubtedly, it will increase.When a celebrity announces that heor she has a particular disorder,there is often an upsurge of refer-rals by concerned individuals. Inthe UK, this was perhaps best illus-trated when Freddie Mercury de-clared that he had HIV. There was asubstantial rise in the number ofpersons seeking advice and/ortesting for the disease in the after-math.

A fair number of famous peoplehave had oral cancer, including Sig-mund Freud, Ulysses S. Grant andTV producer Aaron Spelling to namebut a few. In the UK, journalist andfirst husband of TV cook Nigella

Lawson John Diamond wrote a se-ries of articles detailing theprogress of his disease and itstreatment that informed many ofthe impact this disease can have onan individual and his or her family.

Unfortunately, the Michael Dou-glas situation has perhaps con-fused the exact role of the humanpapillomavirus (HPV) in mouth can-cer. Certainly, it can cause mouthcancer and it can be acquired

through orogenital contact, butthere is no evidence that such con-tact will lessen any subsequent riskof contracting mouth cancer.

IOral cancer figures are risingworldwide. What are the reasonsfor this, and does it fulfil the crite-ria for an epidemic, as it has beencalled in some media reports?

An epidemic is defined as newcases of a disease in a given humanpopulation over a particular period.It often has an emotive element toit. Oral cancer certainly is on the in-crease in the developed world, al-though the number of new cases isfalling in some parts of the globe,notably parts of India.

The rise in some countries isgradual but sustained. Smoking to-

bacco and/or drinking alcohol arethe two factors that traditionallyhave given rise to mouth cancer. Inaddition, individuals are now ac-quiring cancer-causing (oncogenic)types of HPV, probably via orogeni-tal contact. This burst of infectiousdisease, or indeed sexually trans-mitted infection, is not a new phe-nomenon, but it has become muchmore manifest in the last 30 years.So, what is new is probably thatoncogenic types of HPV are justmore common in the sexually activepopulation than in the past.

The exact risk that it carries isunclear but it has been suggestedthat the risk of HPV-related mouthand/or throat cancer climbs whensomeone has had more than ninedifferent sexual partners.

IWhat other factors besides smok-ing, drinking and HPV are currentlybeing investigated, and what istheir malignant potential?

People chew betel nut prepara-tions (e.g. paan masal and gutka) in parts of India, Pakistan,

Bangladesh and surrounding ar-eas. These cause initial fibrosis ofthe oral tissue, termed “submucousfibrosis”, which carries a high riskof causing oral cancer of possibly30 per cent. Submucous fibrosiscan arise even in young individualsand is irreversible, and thus pa-tients are likely to have a lifelong

risk of mouth cancer, even if theystop the causative habit. The night-mare scenario is that when examin-ing a patient with submucous fibro-sis the mouth opening can be sosmall that a clinician may be unableto see the cancer.

Mouth cancer can also arise inpatients who have rare genetic dis-orders, such as Fanconi anaemiaand dyskeratosis congenita, butthe most common oral disorder thatis considered to be potentially ma-

lignant is oral lichen planus. This isa global disorder that typically oc-curs in middle-aged and olderwomen. It is a chronic immune dis-order that may cause painlesswhite patches that sometimes areaccompanied by painful erosions orulcers. It affects about 1 to 2 percent of the population and is the

most common disorder to affect thelining of the mouth (the oral mu-cosa).

It has been suggested that 1 to 2per cent of patients with oral lichenplanus will develop mouth cancer,but this risk is highly unpredictablebecause it does not appear to beconsistently associated with theduration or type of treatment of thelichen planus, nor the age or sex ofthe patients, nor their alcohol or to-bacco habits. The good news, per-

haps, is that 98 to 99 per cent of pa-tients with oral lichen planus willnot contract mouth cancer.

Isolated white or red patches onthe oral mucosa (sometimestermed “leukoplakia” and “erythro-plakia”) have malignant potentialas well, but these are actually un-

An interview with Prof. Stephen Porter, UK

common, particularly the latter,compared with oral lichen planus.

IBesides new treatment concepts,prevention remains the most effec-tive strategy against oral cancer.Why do so many dentists still ap-pear to overlook obvious signs ofthe disease, and do current screen-ing procedures have shortcom-ings?

The great majority of patients ul-timately found to have mouth can-cer will have been referred to a spe-cialist service because a dentist orother dental professional will havenoticed something abnormal. He orshe might not have known what itwas, but they did the correct thingby referring the patient to a special-ist.

Screening for possible mouthcancer is straightforward. It is just amatter of examining the neck andmouth carefully. However some-times dentists do not know what tolook for, as they have probablynever seen more than one type oforal cancer in their professionallives.

Similarly, mouth cancer is morelikely in socio-economically de-prived groups than the wealthy. So-cially disadvantaged people have atendency not to attend health careproviders, including dentists, on aregular basis nor to take up possi-ble screening opportunities forcommon diseases and thereforehave a variable awareness andpractice of disease preventionstrategies, whether concerning oralhealth or general health.

Clearly, the best option forscreening would be opportunisticscreening, where health care staffexamine patients in risk groups fora particular disease, but this re-quires people to want to attend aclinic and to appreciate the possi-ble benefits of such attendance fortheir health and well-being.

I Is there any evidence that regularscreenings could help prevent oralcancer?

There is no evidence that a par-ticular frequency of dental exami-nation will lessen the risk of mouthcancer. However, the more regularlya person is examined, the greaterthe chance that emerging malig-nant or potentially malignant dis-ease will be detected and that anylesion present will be small.

However, overzealous review islikely to be wasteful and thus all pa-tients should be advised that if theybecome aware of a change in theirgingivae or oral mucosa that per-sists for more than three weeks andhas no obvious local cause, or ex-ample a sharp tooth or filling, theyshould seek advice from their den-tist.

I In its 2008 policy statement, theFDI stresses the important role ofdental professionals in the detec-tion of oral cancer and patient edu-cation. To what extent are dentalprofessionals fulfilling this role?

The majority of patients ulti-mately found to have oral cancerwill have been identified by a den-tist or other dental professional;thus, dental professionals are ful-filling this role to a great extent.However, dental professionals

should also be able to provide ad-vice about oral cancer prevention,for example tobacco and alcoholcessation, and information onwhere additional advice can be ob-tained, for example tobacco cessa-tion services.

The current rule of thumb is thatthe more people smoke and thelonger that habit the greater the riskof mouth cancer. The same appliesto alcohol. There are some nuancesas regards the type of tobacco or al-

cohol that may affect risk but theseare really not of notable concernwhen communicating a diseaseprevention message. Of signifi-cance is that the risk of cancer de-veloping if someone smokes anddrinks is much higher than if some-one smokes or drinks (i.e. there is asynergistic rather than additive ef-fect).

Of course, many dentists will in-dicate that they have no experienceof having seen oral cancer or having

managed any patient who has pre-viously had such disease. However,there are some simple rules. If a le-sion is solitary, has been present formore than three weeks and has nolocal cause, the patient should bereferred. Any lesion that strikes adental professional as odd and/ordestructive warrants referral.

Dentists should always keep anaccurate and contemporaneousrecord of what is observed duringclinical examination and be familiar

with the contact details of local oralcancer specialists (typically oraland maxillofacial surgery or oralmedicine).

Finally, the patient should betold the truth, i.e. that the dentalprofessional has concerns that a le-sion is possibly malignant or pre-malignant, and is thus referring thepatient for further investigation.

I Thank you very much for the inter-view.

Science & Practice Friday&Saturday, 30–31 August 2013

The concept of minimum inter-vention in dentistry (MID)ranges from early diagnosis of

oral disease to appropriate inter-

vention, which includes prevention,control and treatment for the pur-pose of conserving natural tooth andperiodontal structure. A number of

MID measures have recently be-come available, including the veryearly detection of dental caries us-ing QLF (Quantitative Light-induced

Fluorescence) in order to detect min-eral loss in enamel, as well as fol-low-up strategies, such as reminer-alisation and the use of sealant.Moreover, the visual FDI Caries Ma-trix, in terms of non-cavitated andcavitated lesions in enamel and den-tine, has been proposed as a cariesindex for timely prevention andtreatment. This early detection anddiagnosis of dental caries will leadto proper prevention and control ofcaries before the development of acavity, which can then only betreated.

For caries restoration, partialcaries removal during cavity prepara-tion has been suggested, which, ac-cording to research, appears to re-duce the incidence of iatrogenic pulpexposure and therefore the risk of painand infection. Simplified and modifiedatraumatic restorative treatment, afurther development of atraumaticrestorative treatment (one of the orig-inal MID methods of restoration) and apreventive method of restoration forprimary teeth that entails partialcaries removal and filling with encap-sulated self-curing glass ionomer ce-ment, has been proposed. This con-cept makes preventive restoration inpreschool children, even by traineddental auxiliaries, possible. More-over, effective use of self-care fluoridetoothpaste during toothbrushing hasbeen suggested for every age group,especially the correct minimal amountof toothpaste used in children to pre-vent both caries and fluorosis.

There are several interesting MIDmeasures in terms of periodontal dis-ease, such as non-surgical or mini-mally invasive surgery in periodontaltherapy, and single-flap or flapless im-plant surgery. The single-flap ap-proach is a minimally invasive surgicalprocedure for the reconstruction of in-traosseous periodontal defects withearly wound healing and highly pre-dictable complete flap closure. The ef-fectiveness of the buccal single-flapapproach for surgical debridement ofdeep intraosseous defects has beenshown to be comparable to the dou-ble-flap approach in terms of clinicalattachment level gain, probing pocketdepth reduction and minimal gingivalrecession, six months post-surgery.Another minimally invasive surgerymethod is flapless implant surgeryconducted with help of the tissuepunch technique instead of having toraise a mucoperiosteal flap. Reportsshow that this reduced operationaltime, accelerated post-surgical heal-ing and even increased patient com-fort in some cases.

MID can be applied in many areasof clinical dentistry. Importantly, itshould be part of a science- and evi-dence-based practice that is able toprovide dental services that are acces-sible to, acceptable to and affordablefor an increasing number of people.

Prof. Prathip Phantumvanit is cur-rently Vice-Chairman of the PublicHealth Committee of the FDI WorldDental Federation. Today, he will bepresenting a paper titled “Minimumintervention dentistry” during one ofthe early morning sessions as part ofthe 2013 FDI AWDC scientific pro-gramme.

IThe new Tor-nado 1 and Tornado2—recent winnerof a red dot designaward—air com-pressor units fromDÜRR DENTAL are

more efficient and econom-ical than their predecessors. Run-

ning at only 54 db(A) they are also lessnoisy. The one and two cylinder sys-

tems are not only extremely quiet buttheir energy consumption is also par-ticularly efficient. The new Tornados require 15 per cent less energy whiledelivering the same performance, ac-cording to the German manufacturer.

The new units can supply up tothree treatment rooms and can beequipped with a membrane-dryingunit, if required, for uninterrupted op-

eration around the clock. The systemscomply with the highest standards ofhygiene through an anti-bacterialcoating on the inner side of the pres-sure tanks, among other things.

DÜRR DENTAL said that the newTornado 1 and Tornado 2 units com-bine all advantages of their predeces-sors, such as reliance, lasting value, acompact form as well as dental air of

the highest quality. Air compressorsystems by Dürr Dental have beenrenowned for decades for their stur-diness, strong durable performanceand high quality standards. The en-hanced version of these systemswill now be on display in Istanbul.

I In order to complete its offer inindustry-leading dental equip-ment and software, Planmecahas recently introduced a fullrange of open CAD/CAM solu-tions. From high-precision desk-top milling units to sophisticatedCAD software and digital impres-sion scanners, they include alltools that are required for openCAD/CAM dentistry, the Finishcompany said.

According to Planmeca, thequick and accurate digital im-pression scanner PlanmecaPlanScan provides real-time dig-ital impressions from one-toothto full-arch scans, which can be

sent to any dental lab for CADwork. It is also the first unit-in -tegrated impression scanner.Available as a standalone ver-sion, the Planmeca PlanScan canalso be connected to a laptop, forexample. The new open CADsoftware suite for easy 3-D de-sign, has been integrated in thePlanmeca Romexis software as aperfect tool for designing pros-thetic works from individual in-lays to full-arch bridges andabutments. Final designs canthen be sent to Planmeca Plan-Mill 40, a new 4-axis milling unitdesigned for glass ceramic andother material works.

For dental laboratories, Plan-meca also offers a fast and main-tenance-free desktop lab scan-ner for scanning plaster castswith the Planmeca PlanScan Lab.Final designs can be processedwith Planmeca PlanMill 50, anaccurate 5-axis milling machinedesigned for dental labs or or-dered fast and reliable fromPlanmeca’s CAD/CAM millingcentre PlanEasyMill, which of-fers a wide range of materialsand fast deliveries.

“Our CAD/CAM solutions aretruly unique, as the system iscompletely open and flexible”,explains Mr Jukka Kanerva, Di-rector of Dental care units andCAD/CAM division at PlanmecaOy. “Dentists and laboratoriescan choose either the entire so-lution and benefit from the inte-grated workflow, or just pick thenecessary parts and send theopen data to their partners. Thisis truly digital perfection.”

The next Tornado generation from DÜRR DENTAL



IDental manufacturer GC is pre-senting a new dual-curing self-ad-hesive resin luting cement whichcomes in the Automix syringe forpractical direct application. As G-CEM LinkAce achieves a highlyefficient polymerization in self-curing mode, it produces reliableresults regardless of whichrestorative material is being ce-mented, according to the com-pany.

In addition, cementing CAD/CAM and metal-free restorationswith G-CEM LinkAce ensure thattheir margins are particularlywear-resistant.

GC said that the material alsoexhibits impressive shade stabil-

ity and adequate radiopacity. G-CEM LinkAce offers very highbiocompatibility and no post-op-erative sensitivity because thereis no need for prior acid etching ofdentin. Fluoride release providesadditional protection.

The G-CEM LinkAce is recom-mended for a broad range of indi-cations including cemention ofall-ceramic, metal and even resinrestorations and posts. Accordingto GC, it does not require refridger-ation and is therefore easy tostore, unlike many other resin ce-ments.

In Istanbul, GC is also pre -senting EQUIA, a self-adhesiverestorative system claimed to pro-vide impressive clinical results in the posterior region. The newconcept combines the clinicallyproven EQUIA Fil high-viscosityglass ionomer material withEQUIA Coat, a light-cured, wear-resistant highly filled resin coat-ing, for a strong restorative mate-rial that, according to the com-pany, takes glass-ionomer tech-nology to a new level.

The company has also a newlydeveloped fibre-reinforced com-posite on display. The everX Pos-terior is said to provide new pos-sibilities for restoring extensivecavities and preventing crackpropagation into filling materialsand tooth structure. The materialaddresses the growing demandfor an economical alternativerestorative for extensive cavities,and can be used for restoringenamel and dentine when com-bined with a conventional com-posite, such as G-ænial Posterior.

G-CEMLinkAce IQuality photo documentation is

becoming increasingly important inall fields of dentistry. Particularly inendodontics, treatment outcomescan be significantly enhanced whenclinicians are able to recognisestructures better. The worldwidefirst adaptable system to all com-mon dental and surgical micro-scopes was developed to supportclinicians in this task. As a result,

treatment times canbe shortened for thebenefit of the pa-tient.

With a height ofonly 27 mm, the VarioFocus is smallin size but big in per-formance, accordingto the manufacturer.

For more flexibility,clinicians have twoworking distances totheir disposal (215and 285 mm). Thelenses contain cal-cium fluoride whichlowers dispersionand corrects aberra-tions.

An integratedProtection Guard,featuring a coating

that prevents reflections for en-hanced transmission, is supposedto help preventing contaminationand the instrument getting dam-aged.

VarioFocus systems are avail-able for microscopes from Zeiss,Leica, Global, Labomed, amongother brands that are currentlyavailable on the market.

SIGHTSEEING

SULTANAHMETBoasting more mosques than any-

where in the city, most famous of allthe Blue Mosque built by SultanAhmed I as part of a larger complex,the Sultanahmet quarter in the southof the European part of the city repre-sents the Old. Nearby Hagia Sophiaepitomises the multireligious past ofthe city, evolving from a Greek Ortho-dox basilica to a Roman Catholiccathedral to a mosque. Nowadays,this testimony to Byzantine architec-ture with marble pillars and mosaicsis a secularised museum open to visi-tors. The large Basilica Cistern offers amagical underground experience oflight and sound, while Topkapı Palaceinvites you to wander about the prem-ises of the Ottoman Sultan residence.

PRINCES’ ISLANDSFor those wishing to escape the

summer heat, the Princes’ Islands—an archipelago of nine islands locatedin the Sea of Marmara—are invitingfor day trips, and can be convenientlyreached by ferry from Kabataş. No

cars are allowed on the islands, andits horses and carriages, beautiful av-enues of pines, and wooden architec-ture create a special, serene am-biance.

ISTANBUL NIGHT CRUISES

Istanbul is a truly magical place,especially at night, and there is prob-ably no better way to discover all its

beauty than from the sea. While youcan have this experience at a minimalcost by hopping on the city’s many fer-ries just after dawn (the best being theone from Eminönü to Kadıköy), thereare also many operators who will offeryou a more sophisticated experiencewith dinner, music, belly dancers andso on. Just inquire at your hotel recep-tion or any tourist information centrenearby.
