CASINOS, MUSIC HALLS
Most of the entertainment venues of İstanbul were at Pera and Direklerarası area in Şehzadebaşı district. Kanto singers who performed Western style dances would take to the stage in the music halls, theatres and party gardens at Galata, Tepebaşı and Beyoğlu. Galata theatres were mostly frequented by sailors, hoodlums and mischievous Muslim men. After the first act, minor chanteuses would start singing kantos and fun would begin. Most famous chanteuses of that period were Peruz and Little Amelia. Men from all walks of life would sneak into theatres to watch the kanto singers and some of them would fall in love and get into fights with rivals. Direklerarası was a calmer area where Muslim families could go to enjoy a night out.

Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.
It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
