as the Blue Mosque because its interior gleams with a magnificent paneling of blue and white 17th century Iznik tiles. Next, visit Hagia Sophia, often described as the greatest work of Byzantine architecture. Once the Church of Holy Wisdom, Christendom’s crowning glory, and now a museum, this church once glittered with mosaics, and art treasures filled every corner.Stop for a quick lunch or snack and a visit to the famous Grand Bazaar.
