Istanbul, Byzantium or Constantinople - dream vacations in Turkey
Today I’ll be giving wings to my vacation and travel wishes so instead of a place I already know, I’ll be writing about a place that I’m sure I would love to visit! As you may know, I’m much fond of Italy and Greece so, staying in Europe, I would definitively had to dream with the other country in the South Eastern side, Turkey. Much like Italy and Greece, the Republic of Turkey is another one of those countries that breaths history everywhere, in it’s case the Ottoman Empire history.
Speaking of Turkish history is of course speaking of Istanbul. In it’s earlier days a Greek city called Byzantium, later renamed to Constantinople and made capital of the Roman Eastern Empire. In 1453 after a long siege the city was then conquered by the Sultan Mehmed II and made capital of the Ottoman Empire. A very well known symbol of this last conquest is the Hagia Sophia Mosque (above), a former Greek Orthodox Basilica converted to a Mosque in the very first day after the Ottoman victory.
And speaking of Mosques, what to say about the beauty of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (above), locally know as the Blue Mosque. It’s in fact very hard to find words to describe the uniqueness of the architecture of this structure. The numerous cupolas and domes accompanied by the six minarates towers seen from the Courtyard are absolutely amazing.
Another fine example of the Ottoman architecture is the Dolmabahçe Palace with it’s Baroque decorated facade, beautiful. This palace is located on the margins of the Bosphorus, also know as the Istanbul Strait, the Strait that separates the city in two and that also serves as boundary between Europe and Asia.
As if Istambul’s historical side wasn’t enough to convince me to wanna go there I must also say that the city appears to be full of life. Above, a view from the historical İstiklal Avenue that reminds me how much I liked the busy streets in Crete’s capital Heraklion in Greece. Most definitively I’ll be making a vacation in Turkey one of this days
