Istanbul

Two and a half years of dreaming, finally a reality. Sultan Ahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque).

Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) literally right across from the Blue Mosque. It was originally a Christian building, converted to a mosque in 1453, and now a museum.


 The Church of the Holy Savior in Chora (Chora Museum) has some of the best-surviving frescoes and mosaics from the Byzantine Age. Absolutely amazing.

Can you believe the one on the left is a mosaic?!

 Cruising on the Bosphorus between Europe and Asia.


So far, I like this place a lot.
