City once known as Constantinople (8)

I believe the answer is:

istanbul

(Other definitions for istanbul that I've seen before include "City in both Europe and Asia" , "foreign port" , "Take the Latin bus out to Turkey" , "Turkey's largest city" , "Modern Byzantium" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
