Spice Bazaar:
This covered market is an attractive L-shaped building to the southwest
of the Yeni Cami.
Its English name survives from the time when the market specialized in the
sale of spices and herbs, as well as medicinal plants and drugs
Boat Cruise on Bosphorus:
The Bosphorus - the waterway between two continents - is beautiful at any
time, day or night in any season. On the way to the Black Sea, you can see
the finest and richest examples of the Ottoman houses and palaces on the
shores.
Rumeli Fortress: In 1452, Mehmet II prepared to besiege Constantinople by
constructing a fortress at Rumeli Hisari. It took less than four months
to build, thanks to 3000 laborers and master masons assigned to the task.
Its crenellated walls and round towers are popular with photgraphers and
what you see from the top of the walls is one of the nicest view of the
Bosphorus.
