Turkey: Istanbul

We flew from Paris to Istanbul, with a transfer provided to the Tashkonak Hotel in Sultanahmet:


with great views (of course) of the Sea of Marmara and around:





It was near the Blue Mosque:



and the Islamic Art Museum:


and not far from Aya Sofia:












and the Archeological Museum:




with its fascinating collection of very early documents, treaties and poems:




carvings:










and beards:










plus the closest we got to Troy and to the litter trays of ages:



One day, we took the ferry:


to the Princes Islands:











And another day, Pat did a cooking course and Roger joined the group for lunch:



Also ate gozleme:
