Q: Where in Istanbul to take the most beautiful photos with a view of the Bosphorus?

The best panoramic views are from the Galata Tower, built by the Genoese in 1348 as part of a defensive structure. In contrast, in the Asian part of the city, Chamlyja Hill offers equally impressive angles overlooking the strait and bridges. The Ortaköy Walking Zone with the Ortaköy Mosque on the Bosphorus is an ideal place for atmospheric shots at sunset.

Q: What unique religious artifacts are kept in museums in Istanbul?

In the church of Chora (Kariye Museum) preserved the best Byzantine mosaics of the XIV century with biblical subjects.

Q: What urban legends are associated with underground cisterns?

The Basilica Cistern is covered with myths about the sunken treasures of Byzantine emperors.
