Gezme: Sightseeing

I know I said that Aya Sofya is the best, and it's true... but it has real competition! Here are some photos from the Naval Museum, Istanbul Archeological Museum, and Topkapı Sarayı (Palace).

As you can see, the chain didn't save the day!

Who needs a living palm tree, when you can have one of stone at the Archeaological Museum?

Detail from the tomb of Alexander the Great (or so they say...)

Many, many shards of pottery from Troy!

Uhh, what myth is this?

Summer garden at Topkapı Sarayı. The sultans had some things figured out!

Like how to cook on a grand scale!
