So many tourists in this neighborhood! Do any Turkish people live here? Spent the morning in the Grand Bazaare where a fabulous leather jacket was extracted.

Then on to Aya Sofya, the basilica of unearthly proportions.

Turkish tea and pastries on the rooftop of the Seven Hills hotel with a view of the Bosphorus.

Dinner at Lonely Planet recommended Pasazade. Turkish red wine is rich and fruity.
