Istanbul
Just missed the floods the week before in Istanbul but had some cloudy days with light rain. Had a great hotel location and could walk everywhere. Went to the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Sophia Museum, Spice bazaar, river boat trip and of course experienced a Turkish bath (which was quite an experience and apparently not typical so I am not …
The Seat of Ottoman Power
During Byzantine times, the entrance to the Golden Horn harbor, a sheltered horn-shaped inlet that joins the Bosphorus just where the strait enters the Sea of Marmara, was guarded by a giant chain that was suspended between two large towers, one one either side.
