Istanbul

September 1–4. Four nights at the Orientbank in Sirkeci, a few minutes from the Galata Bridge.

The first evening was the bridge and the skyline across the Golden Horn. Then the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, and the Spice Bazaar; the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, and the Archaeological Museums; and a last day on the Bosphorus.

The New Mosque and Galata Bridge, on the Golden Horn.
