A major city in Turkey (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

istanbul

(Other definitions for istanbul that I've seen before include "City formerly known as Constantinople" , "Modern name of Constantinople" , "Former Turkish capital" , "Catch the Latin bus out to Turkey" , "foreign port" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
