WALKING TOUR

GURU walk

HAGI SOPHIA - PINK MOSQUE 

This used to be a Christian church until the muslims moved in.   There are two entrances - A worship entrance that I believe is free and a tourist entry that costs and gives views of a famous pained? fesco? ceiling.  (We did not actually go in).

 

BLUE MOSQUE

There's a courtyard where one just wanders in for free and no queue. Tourists can visit the worship space.  Big queue. 

CISTERN

Buy tickets on line. 

Go early as the queue through security gets big quickly. 

 

==≈================

Experience the reality of a Muslim country rather than the rumour.
