Something Else But Everything Else!

Shores of the Golden Horn,

Four in one day: wall + ferry + church+ mosque

Mozaics of Chora Church

..so you’ve been here before?

Have a single day just to see something else but everything else?

Then, we’ll do the ultimate combo:

Ferry zigzaging the Golden Horn

City Walls of Constantinople 

Chora Church

Mosque of Princess Mihrimah Sultan by Sinan

Walls: City walls of Constantinople, the dead soldiers, the cemeteries, the gates, the dungeons and watermelon fields.  

Ferry: Public ferry that zigzags both shores of the the Golden Horn so you can see all of the city at once.

Church: Chora is the Byzantine marvel of mozaics and frescoes. Nightmare of a guide, you will need lots of neck stretching as we identify the Biblical stories. 

Mosque: Mihrimah was the beloved daughter of Suleyman and Roxelana. Sinan’s sweetheart and impossible love, she sleeps eternally in her shrine.
