RE: A few glimpses into the ancient grandeur of Istanbul!
What an amazing place!
I bet you could spend several months there and never run out of significant landmarks to experience.
Constantinople was one of the few southern locales my own Viking ancestors would visit, to trade... 1000-1200 years ago.
Talking of Constantinople, here'sColumn of Constantine for you. I omitted it in my post:
True, very true. To fully explore Istanbul’s rich history, 2 to 3 years are essential due to its deep layers as the former Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Iconic landmarks like Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Blue Mosque that I have showed you in my blog, only scratch the surface. The city is filled with hidden gems, ancient ruins, and culturally diverse neighborhoods, each requiring time to truly appreciate. I think I will have to revisit many times or maybe will have to spend a year or two there ;)) who knows!
