Turkey-Istanbul
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, where three empires that have had a profound impact on the world (Ancient Rome, Byzantium, Ottoman) have all established their capitals. The three thousand years of historical mist has left it with many cultural relics that never fade with time. Here you can find ferries, seagulls, street food, small towns, historical buildings, and colorful neighborhoods.
When spring comes, Istanbul turns into a colorful sea of flowers, with the entire city surrounded by colorful flowers, like a dreamy garden. Balat, a historic old town, is quite flavorful and is a neighborhood where artists and young people often hang out. The houses here retain the characteristics of Spanish Jewish architecture, with colorful wooden houses, cobblestone streets, and fairy-tale atmosphere, as well as small antique shops, cafes, and local handicraft workshops. The Blue Mosque is the only mosque in the world with six minarets and is hailed as one of the top ten wonders of the world.
The walls are made of blue glazed tiles fired in the famous Turkish porcelain town, with a white base and rich floral patterns, very gorgeous!

#i̇stanbultrip
One of the nice mosques to visit Giant Ottoman architecture that receives many tourists throughout the day. The view of this mosque from every side is incredible. The typical architectural design of the mosques gives complete beauty to this country. It is always open to the public especially for prayer. I need some dress code to follow. We were there on Friday An impressive experience
First of all, do not visit until 2pm. It’s full of tourists and tour operators. Our local guide gave us a trick to visit after 2pm and there would be no quest for it. Turns out it’s true From the outside, this is the most beautiful mosque I have ever seen. You should not miss the mosque during sunset and at night. It lights up and stuns.
We must see! The blue mosque is so amazing! Such a big building inside and out. You should wear/headdress and appropriate clothing covering the shoulders, full legs, and torso. You have to remove the shoes but you can leave in designated places inside. The architectural structure is stunning. You should watch outside in the evening because it’s an amazing view. There are no waiting times, a light area behind the mosque that was clean and spacious. Overall, a nice place to visit and you should add it to any wishlist!
The Blue Mosque - Istanbul
The majestic Blue Mosque was built in the first half of the 17th century. The marble walls are decorated with traditional Islamic blue tiles with floral patterns. Instead of four minarets, the temple is surrounded by six towers with balconies. Inside the prayer hall, in the under-dome spaces, sayings from the Koran are inscribed in a circle. The main dome rests on four massive columns with a diameter of 5 m, completely covered with plant patterns.
The interior, as well as the exterior, is dominated by blue and light blue tones. Daylight enters the hall through 260 windows decorated with stained glass. The courtyard is surrounded on both sides by arcades. Next to the mosque stands the mausoleum of Sultan Ahmed I, by whose decree the shrine was built.

Think of gorgeous views of the Black sea, stunning architecture and delicious food..
Although I didn't get a feel for the Turkish hospitality this time round, I still enjoyed the beauty of this magnificent city. After all, everything is fine when you start the day with a cup of strong Turkish coffee, sweetened by a piece of Turkish delight; then explore beautiful sights like the Golden Horn bridge and the Galata tower or the Blue mosque: then enjoy a freshly made fish sandwich by the sea for lunch...
The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, also known by its official name, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque is located as Istanbul, Turkey.
Of course the highlight is the Mosque but on the way it is also interesting. First a walk at the square with Pillars and a nice fountain.

This mosque is also known as Blue Mosque, which is one of the most spectacular building in Istanbul. It’s so huge and inside people still use it everyday for praying. Outside the building, there are many benches where people usually take picture. It’s located just in front of Hagia Sophia, so you can visit both at the same time! Winter season can be chilly but Istanbul is just as beautiful in any weather! #wintergetaway

Turkey is a country with pencils everywhere, more than 90,000 mosques, each with at least one minaret with a pen tip up. Among the more than 90,000, the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, which was built in 1609 and built in 1616, has won several top prizes.
It is the only mosque in the world with six minarets and the largest dome in Istanbul. More than 30 domes rise and rise to the central dome with a diameter of 41 meters. Because the wall is made of 21043 pieces of Turkish porcelain, the town of Izuk (Izhik), engraved with rich patterns and patterns, and the blue-colored glaze is white, so people call it It is a blue mosque. There are four large pillars in the
temple. They are called elephant feet, and each root has a golden Qur'an. The interior is large and can accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers at most.
Women entering the mosque must have a headscarf. If you don't have one, you can spend 1 lira to rent a door at the door, you can't wear a short skirt, and the man can't wear shorts. You can also rent a long skirt.
Where the mosque has a pool, it is because of the Islamic law, the prayers or the touch of the Qur'an must be clean or small, and when there is liquid in your body, there will be liquid seepage. Destruction, so women can not pray during menstruation.
When praying, the man must be in front, the woman in the back, facing Mecca. Because if the woman is in the front and the man is in the back, the mens inability to concentrate on worship because of the movement problem...
It is probably the largest mosque in Turkey and the second largest mosque in the world. The building is majestic. The most beautiful are those stained glass windows, which are mysterious and elegant against the background of yellow chandelier. I am a daydreaming woman. Imagine how mysterious can be the distance between people and God in the hundreds of thousands of candles and swaying candles in an era without electricity.

Come to the door of the Blue Mosque in the fascinating place, follow many tourists to take off your shoes, and take the blue scarf for the ladies. On, with a very curious, pious feeling into the temple.
The construction of the Blue Mosque did not use a nail, and after several earthquakes did not collapse, it is also very magical existence.
There is a square in the middle of the mosque and the cathedral. It is very suitable for pats. It must be remembered to wear a red dress and an exotic shawl scarf.

is the red book above the grass network The red restaurant Seven Hills, which was previously reserved for the official website, has not yet given me a reply. I went there at 11 o'clock in the morning. There was no one. I also grabbed the seat in the corner of the terrace. I came to a special Turkish coffee. Facing the natural background of the cathedral, it is not very important to eat at this time. Haha~
If the winter is too cold, it is recommended that the baby take a good photo or go downstairs to eat indoors, because the wind is really cold. burst. . .
Blue is the favorite color of the Turks, the blue evil eye, the blue traditional bathroom, and the blue mosque in Istanbul is more dreamy and more amazing.
In recent days, Turkey has been carrying out assassinations and terrorist attacks everywhere. If you listen to the tour guides outside the city, you will be in danger. Before that, there was a wave of tourists who became targets of terrorist attacks. Therefore, they were careful when visiting outside until they passed the security check. Inside the mosque. One of the obelisks outside the mosque was shipped from Egypt, and the base was sawn off before it could be loaded onto the ship. It can be seen how huge the stone monument is. The
blue mosque has a large dome of 27.5 meters in diameter and four smaller domes. The indispensable minaret of the mosque is 43 meters high and one more than the average mosque; it is said that only the Islamic holy city of Mecca The mosque can cover six spires. When the Blue Mosque was built, the architect listened to Ahmad Is golden order. I didnt expect the golden and six roots to be very close. As a result, the Blue Mosque was over. There are six spires.
The Blue Mosque must be the best in the world. In May, on International Labor Day, I did not expect to go to the queue so early in the morning. I lined up with friends and I went to the next place to take a few shots. Suddenly, I awakened by the melodious chanting, this really meant that we were in an Islamic country. The place where we stood in a line is similar to the Shanghai World Expo. The back-shaped railings are in good order. After entering, you can receive long scarf shawls.
