More fun in Istanbul,

Churches and lunch with Nazli in the Beyoglu neighborhood. Beyoglu is on the European side of Istanbul, although we had to cross the Bosphorus from our neighborhood—Beyoglu is a fun and vibrant cultural center. We walked most of the way from Sultanahmet to Beyoglu.

Thanks Nazli for showing us around.
Lunch. As usual, we ate most before I remembered to take a picture.
Crimean Orthodox Memorial Church. This church was built on land donated by Sultan Abdulmecid and was constructed between 1858 and 1868 in memory of British soldiers who had died in the Crimean War. Also known as Christ Church.
Catholic Church. The Church of St. Anthony of Padua, known as Sant’Antonio di Pandora Church, is the largest Catholic Church in Istanbul. It is located on Istiklal Avenue in the Beyoglu district.
Galata Tower. Built as a watchtower at the highest point of the Walls of Galata, the towers is now a museum.
We didn’t go in.
Galata Bridge. Fishing from the bridge. We had to walk across this bridge to get from our neighborhood, Sultanahmet
to Beyoglu. Not sure what they are catching.
