Most viewed - Bosphorus Cruise, 3/31/2006

Streetcars344 viewsPublic transportation in Istanbul seemed to be modern and adequate (subway, buses, streetcars), although we didn't get a chance to try it because we rode in our ccomfortable chartered tour bus.

Labyrinth287 viewsWe had to thread our way through a maze of narrow streets to get to our luncheon spot.

Baker's Dozens273 viewsWhile we were waiting to board our boat for the Bosphorus cruise, I shot this picture of a bread vendor wearing his wares like a hat.

Tower Yali271 viewsHouse with its own mini-minaret - or could it be a neighborhood mosque?

Ultra-modern Mansions270 viewsNo throwing stones here.

Dolmabahçe Mosque266 viewsOttoman neo-Baroque mosque located near the Dolmabahçe Palace; completed in 1855.

Firuz Ağa Mosque265 viewsBuilt around 1491 by Firuz Ağa, chief treasurer of Sultan Bayezid II. Located very close to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace.

Istanbul Spring258 viewsSpring flowers were beginning to bloom as we trekked through the residential areas near the palace.

Karabaş Mustafa Ağa Mosque257 viewsA 16th century stone-and-brick mosque near the Beyoğlu waterfront.

Really Skinny Yali256 viewsThe price of real estate here means that you have to make the most of every square inch. It's the same principle that led to building skyscrapers in New York.

Sultan Ahmet III Fountain252 viewsBuilt in 1728 in Turkish rococo style in front of the Imperial Gate of Topkapi Palace. Replaced a Byzantine fountain which previously occupied the site. It served as a favorite gathering place, providing not only drinking water but also free sherbet for the local population.
