Istanbul,Turky

Istanbul...very famous country.
There many interesting place at there.
Especially about their architecture of every building.
The uniqueness of the architecture was a good attraction for tourist.
Not many others country have this types of attraction


(1) Blue mosque.

Travellers call it "Blue Mosque" but Turks call it ''SultanAhmet Mosque". 
 Built between 1609-1616, this impressive six minaret complex has some of the most beautiful architecture. The principal Mosque in Islam is in Mecca.  It had 6 minarets, but when the Blue Mosque, named for blue tiles on its pillars, was constructed, a seventh minaret was added to the Mecca Mosque.
You should be careful about visiting during the praying time since the mosque will close for about one hour.
You don't have to pay entrance fees.






(2) Rumeli Fortress
If you are in Istanbul in a summer time you should definitely take a walk by Bosphorous in Rumeli Hisarı which is in the European side.
Amazing views - almost completely unrestricted access.  Beware - there are no railings (which can be stressful with small children) and not for those afraid of heights.
After wanting to visit but looking at time-distance cost-benefit, we decided to view from a Bosphorus cruise. As much as I would have liked to walk the site...the combination of seeing it from the water along with other sites won out. Read the history of the site before the cruise and all is good.
