Strolling through Istanbul's Old City

One encounters the past splendor and luxury of empires. Walking in the Old City of Istanbul feels like traversing the river of history. Every step treads on the crossroads of Byzantine and Ottoman eras, where golden domes, blue tiles, and intricate calligraphy together narrate the glory of empires past.

From the golden mosaics of Hagia Sophia to the thousands of tiles in the Blue Mosque, light and shadow dance across the domes. Here, religion and art no longer have boundaries but listen to each other. Pigeons take flight from the square, and the call to prayer echoes in the air. This moment of tranquility and magnificence makes one feel as if they can hear history breathing softly.
