Shopping in the Old Istanbul

Today we went to the Grand Bazaar to look for a kilim and some fabrics and drapes.

some kids selling cell phone cases.








The Nurosmaniye Mosque near the Grand Bazaar.








































Interesting and weird how this minaret got swallowed by this building.





















The Galata Tower seen from Eminönü.









A Panoramic view of the entrance of the Golden Horn by Eminönü.



























We took a small boat to cross the golden horn. Just 1 Lira (80 cents) per person and very fun to do.
