Istanbul was Constantinople
... your standard European palace. We followed the Topkapi with the Grand Bazaar. Am I blasphemous for saying that I was underwhelmed? Not that the endless labyrinth of shops is not impressive, but it almost felt like I had been before. The most amazing thing for me about Istanbul is most definitely it's setting.

Only problem was the busloads of fellow tourists that I had to battle to view these treasures. But their numbers thinned somewhat as the mealhour approached.......
After such a surfeit of religious architecture, I decided on an afternoon out on the Sea of Marmara to visit Adalar ...
