【Eurasian Crossroads · Istanbul】
📍Hagia Sophia
This architectural marvel has withstood 1500 years of history. It was once a Byzantine church, later converted into a mosque, and now open as a museum. It’s recommended to visit in the morning to avoid crowds.

📍Blue Mosque
The only mosque in the world with six minarets, its interior is breathtaking with blue Iznik tiles. Remember to dress appropriately!

⚠️Tips: The two attractions are only a 5-minute walk apart, so you can visit both together.

📍Goreme Open-Air Museum
Home to an astonishing number of cave churches, the most stunning being the "Dark Church," whose frescoes remain vividly preserved.

📍Hot Air Balloon Experience
Be sure to book in advance! It’s recommended to choose the first flight to see the sunrise and enjoy the most stable air currents. The first flight costs about 250 euros per person.

🍴Recommended Restaurant: Topdeck Cave Restaurant (the cave dining experience is amazing)
