Hi, I am Tom. I will travel around the world for the rest of my life. The first stop of the trip is Istanbul, Turkey
Istanbul is not only geographically across two continents, but also eclectic Europe, Asia, across the national thought, culture, the essence of art, thus become an important intersection of eastern and western culture, then left many ancient places of historic interest.
Here, you can in the ancient churches and mosques visit historical massiness, then can arrive by walking fashion boutique shopping store, when night came, in cafes or on the side of the bosporus restaurant taste authentic Turkish coffee and food. A perfect day.
The whole city was built along the coast, and the roads were extremely sloping. We always admire the skill of drivers here
The laid-back square, which surrounds almost all of Istanbul's major monuments and attractions, is a pleasant one. Although some places are full of tourists, they do not hinder the seclusion. The square is littered with relics of different ages, so you don't feel bored wandering around. Doves are flying everywhere, and the wind blowing in the face of the sun can feel the breath of leisure.
Blue Mosque. No tickets are required, but unlike Sophia, which is already a museum, no muslims pray in it and can visit at any time. The blue mosque is still in use today, where muslims pray several times a day and visitors are not allowed to enter.
Grand Bazaar.
It sells lights, carpets, crafts, flower tiles, leather, sweets, jewelry and so on.
Bosporus
After my trip to Istanbul, I'm heading to the next stop, Alacati
