ISTANBUL: Paradise Of Mosques

Istanbul has in my opinion the most beautiful and historical mosques in the world. My personal favourites are: Laleli Mosque, Sultan Ahmed Mosque also known as the Blue Mosque, Fatih Mosque and the Süleymaniye Mosque.




Very nice to look at is also the Hagia Sofia museum and the Galata Tower. Best is to go on top of the tower and take beautiful pictures from the Bosphorus. Istanbul has marvellous palaces, my personal favourites: Dolmabahce Palace and Topkapi Palace.

The traditional Turkish delight, Lokum, in different flavours.

Grilled corn to go.
