Exotic Istanbul
Our full day in Istanbul took us to discover a number of Istanbul's famous landmarks including Hagia Sophia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A Christian Church for almost a thousand years, this magnificent structure served as a mosque after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by the Ottomans, who added minarets and fountains. In 1934, the founder …
Eid Mubarek!
Today was the first day of the Eid and the end of Ramadan so a lot of places were closed in the morning. I decided to do the walking tour in the Western district starting around Edirnekapi (taken there by taxi). My walk today was plagued by wrong turns and missing street signs. I was lost the moment I got out of the taxi and ended up enlisting the …
A day of sightseeing in Istanbul
... Palace, which used to be the Sultan's Palace, built in 1865 by Sultan Abdul Aziz. It was built in the style of European pleasure palaces and is now a museum. It was used by the Sultan and his family as a summer palace. We have never seen so many waiting rooms in our lives! Then off to the Pine Peak lookout, which provided a magnificent view of Istanbul from the Asia side of the city and a beer to relax us at the end of a busy sight- seeing ...

... e sitzend neben einem Oboespieler getrunken. Außerdem habe ich ein frisches Fischbrötchen bei einem fliegenden Händler auf der Galata Brücke, dort wo abends wie tagsüber viele dutzend Angler stehen, gekauft und genossen, dürfte einem Angler den Fang aus dem Wasser ziehen und habe gemerkt, dass selbst nachts alleine Istanbul keine gefährliche Stadt ist.

I...Just Wanna Fly!
... pool (called killer pool) that Michael ended up winning (money in the pocket!). After our day off it was time to get back in to tourist mode again. Our plan was to tour Ephesus in the morning, the best preserved Roman city in the world. Back in its day (1st Century BC) the population was 250,000. It felt as if we were stepping back in to time as we walked along the marble streets with the ruins on each side of us. After ...

TravelPod Member ReviewsRichmond Hotel Istanbul
Nice hotel on a pedestrian street and only a few minutes walk from Taksim Square. The rooms were large and comfortable but unless you request and get an "inside" room, you might be up all night with the folks walking the street until all hours of the early morning. We had a TV, free internet access, and a coffee maker in our room. The restaurant is good but not great. It is a long, but beautiful walk across the Galata Bridge to the Sultanahmet Mosque and Grand Bazaar but on a nice day it is worth it.
