The number of tourists to visit Istanbul from several crisis-hit European countries, such as Greece, Spain and Italy, doubled in the first seven months of the year when compared with figures last year, according to figures by the Culture and Tourism Directorate.

This added to a significant increase in tourists from Middle Eastern and North African countries such as Syria, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, the figures said.

The number of visitors to Istanbul rose 15 percent in the first seven months of the year when compared with figures last year, nearing 4.5 million. Nearly 900,000 tourists from Germany topped the list of visitors, as citizens of Middle Eastern countries, Russia, the U.S. and France followed.

The directorate’s data is based on records from the Atatürk and Sabiha Gökçen airports along with the Haydarpaşa, Pendik and Karaköy ports in the city.

More than 4.2 million tourists preferred to reach the city by air, while an additional 245,474 came by sea.

Some 3.9 million foreigners visited Istanbul in 2010.
