Tip of week from our Concierge; WHERE TO GO: The Chora Church, - TopicsExpress



          

Tip of week from our Concierge; WHERE TO GO: The Chora Church, Church of St Savior, or Kariye Museum is a bit off the beaten track, but well worth a visit. Located in Chora/Edirnekapi next to the old city walls, it is one of the most amazing religious building Istanbul has to offer. The walls and ceilings of this church are adorned with stunning Byzantine mosaics and fabulous frescoes. Some are considered as the most significant in the Christian world. And while you’re there, enjoy the remains of the fifth century city walls and the wooden Ottoman houses. WHERE TO EAT: Mangerie is great for a leisurely long breakfast in Bebek by the Bosporus– sorry , no English site, a good indication that it is not touristy. mangeriebebek
