The Galata Tower

The view from this old Genoese tower shows you a lot of this magnificent city. You will see the Bosphorus that divides Europe from Asia, and you will see the skyline of Sultanahmet (The Old Istanbul) with the Topkapi Palace, Aya Sofya and The Blue Mosque.

Hamam

After a long day in the dust and heat, only a hot Turkish bath can make you clean. The Çemberilitas (near the Grand Bazar) was built in 1580.

Enjoy your meal!

Kebab, Meze, Köfte and the strong Raki. Enjoy delicious meals in the restaurants or at the cheap streetstands.

Aya Sofya

The Aya Sofia was built as a church in 548 and converted to a mosque in 1453. Today it's a museum, and a visit to Istanbul should include a visit here.
