Dag 3
Hagia Sophia
29. mai 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Hagia Sophia is unique.

Built in 537 as the patriarchal cathedral of the imperial capital of Constantinople, it was the largest Christian church of the eastern Roman Empire (the Byzantine Empire) and the Eastern Orthodox Church, except during the Latin Empire from 1204 to 1261, when it temporarily became a Roman Catholic cathedral. In 1453, after the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire, it was converted into a mosque. In 1935, the Republic of Turkey established it as a museum. In 2020, it was reconverted into a mosque.

Another unique feature are the huge number of Christian symbols including paintings of Jesus Christ and the Holy Cross.

I felt overwhelmed when I went in.Les mer

Topkapi Palace

The Topkapı Palace ('cannon gate palace') or the Seraglio is a large museum in the east of the Fatih district of Istanbul in Turkey. In the 15th and 16th centuries it served as the main residence and administrative headquarters of the Ottoman sultans.Construction, ordered by the Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, began in 1459, six years after the conquest of Constantinople.

There are 4 courtyards. Each very different since they were all built at different times by different rulers.Les mer

Around Haghia Sophia complex
29. mai 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
The area around Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace is sometimes referred to as the Sultanahmet complex. Lovely area to be in. Lots of green, beautifully landscaped and filled with restaurants and bakeries around this place.Les mer

Dinner on a rooftop
29. mai 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
This restaurant (Dubb) was suggested by fellow "findpenguiners" @waysandays situated right next to the Hagia Sophia. So a huge thank you to them.

This was an Indian and Turkish restaurant. We ordered from the Turkish menu. I had this amazing chicken dish. The views were great as well from the rooftop eating area.Les mer

Bosphorus ferry tour
30. mai 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Bosphorus Ferry Ride is a must do when you come to Istanbul. There are plenty of rides that one can pre-book. We did not pre-book anything today. We went to Eminönü and took a ferry from there. An hour and 45 minutes of gentle ride; 60 TL; beautiful. Definitely would recommend. It's a great way to see both the Asian and the European part of the city. Beautiful buildings along the way.Les mer

Grand Bazaar
30. mai 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
I must say the Istanbul e-kart (available at all tramway stations) is really a great way to explore the city.

We went to from Eminönü to Beyazit on a tram. And bingo, you are in front of Grand Bazaar. Though it is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with 61 covered streets and over 4,000 shops, I was disappointed. It somehow lacked what I experienced in the Spice Bazaar.

Grand Bazaar is a must do to check the box. For me at least, Spice Bazaar was the jewel in the crown.Les mer
