It was my first trip to Istanbul and when i look back i think of long nights, a lot of colors & patterns and good & delicious food. It was a trip about 4 days. We stayed in the district Sultanahmet which is a great location to get to the most famous and ancient places. Even with the taxi it´s just about 15 TL (6 Euro) to get to Taxim on the other side of the city.
The first day we started off with the Topkapi Palast, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and the Cisterna Basilica. I mostly was impressed by the beauty and variety of the mosaics. The most beautiful ones have been inside of the Harem of the Topkapi Palast.
