Where history, faith, and timeless beauty meet. ✨Sultanahmet Square is one of Istanbul’s most iconic historic places, surrounded by magnificent Ottoman and Byzantine landmarks. Once the center of ancient Constantinople, today it invites visitors to walk through centuries of history between two extraordinary monuments: the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

We were staying in a hotel near to this busy square. It proved a good navigation point to find other places to go. Busy day & night.

The ruins of Hierapolis are located near Pamukkale. They are in the same large scenic area as the Pamukkale hot springs. You can walk between the two. It is a famous holy city in ancient Greece. It was built roughly in the 2nd century BC. At present, the ruins still have ancient Greek theaters, churches, baths and other large ruins, which reproduce the daily life scenes of the ancient Greek people. It is now a world cultural heritage. The ruins of Hierapolis were built by Eumenes II, the king of Pergamon, an ancient Greek city-state near the west coast of Turkey. It was built as a hot spring resort for the royal family and nobles. It was razed to the ground in a major earthquake in the 17th century. Now only broken walls and ruins remain.
