Bosporus docks

posted by gdale on 3 August 2010 at 15:54

This was one of my favourite spots in Istanbul. The Bosporus docks on the Golden Horn come alive at night with entertainers and street food vendors. Its a great spot to pick up some fresh barbecued seafood.

Blue Mosque

You can see where the Blue Mosque got its inspiration- the Hagia Sofia is directly opposite! true to its name, every surface inside is covered in beautiful Blue tiles. Its also still used as a mosque so a fascinating insight.
