A brief post about a brief stopover in Istanbul

 2024 Apr 5/6 

 

We had travelled to Delhi on Turkish Airlines, and on the way home had a 22 hour stopover in Istanbul, so took advantage of the opportunity to spend the time in the city. We booked a hotel in Sirkeci, which put us within walking distance of the Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, and Grand Bazaar. We were able to enjoy all of these without feeling rushed, which gave us a good taste of this part of the city. There’s so much more to see and appreciate, however we focussed on a few points of interest, leaving others to the next opportunity to visit.

In addition to these places, we had lunch at Şerbethane Cafe & Restaurant,  which proved to be a good place since it has a garden at the back with a great view to the Blue Mosque. 

 


Dinner was at the highly rated Deraliye Terrace, and this proved a good option.

 

So, a few photos for a taste of our brief stopover; more next time : )
