This is the Beyazıt area in Fatih, İstanbul. Our 40 Danish friends are beginning their first day of the tour. This courtyard, in front of İstanbul University, is a common place for protests; however, today is a major holiday - so protests will wait. #istanbul #turkey🇹🇷 #mosaicsofturkiye

This church, partially restored and covering an entire city block, is the favorite for most at Laodicea. Shown below is the altar and baptismal.

Laodicea (Laodikeia now in modern day Denizli), near both Colossae and Hierapolis, a long time home for many Jews in ancient days - this site is one of our favorites. Each time we return to this site we find that new items have been discovered as prominent constructions are revealed. Come and see this ancient city that remains a great example and warning for many of us today.

Our favorite story from İlhara Valley comes from the Serpentine Church. As interesting as this church is, and it is very interesting, it is the depiction of the 40 martyrs of Sebaste that humble and inspire us the most.

About an hour southwest of Nevşehir (where you find Cappadocia) is Aksaray. Aksaray is home to the İhlara Valley. The main area of interest is a gorge with chapels, tombs, dwellings, and other structures cut/carved into the rocky cliffs. As interesting and impressive as these are - it is the stories behind them that hold our attention, and with a good guide you will always remember. #türkiye #cappadocia #ilhara #mosaicsofturkiye #turkey

Cappadocia is one of, if not the number one, top destination in Türkiye. When you visit, you will quickly see why. Days of hiking, riding horses, riding BALLOONS, and touring the many ancient sites are the most popular options in this small Anatolian town. Come and see! #cappadocia #türkiye #turkey #mosaicsofturkye #comeandsee

Ever wonder why so many mosques have domes and arc

Ever wonder why so many mosques have domes and arches? The style is adopted from Eastern Orthodox Church architecture. As the Ottomans conquered what is modern day Türkiye, they would often 'repurpose' the Orthodox churches for mosques. When building new mosques, this design was usually repeated. Pictured here is one of the repurposed Orthodox Churches in our Fatih district which is home to many such repurposed churches. Today this ancient church is the Kalenderhane Mosque. Next to the mosque is a portion of the Roman Aqueduct of Valens. Also pictured is the Şehzade mosque - beautiful architecture and a quiet courtyard, perfect for a quiet time of reflection after your tour - some of our groups enjoy devotions in this accommodating hideaway from the city. #constantinople #fatih #istanbul #mosaics #turkey #kalenderhane #aqueductvalens #easternorthodox

When visiting the university area of Fatih, there

When visiting the university area of Fatih, there is a very interesting mosque that you might visit - helpful for learning more about our neighbors here. Süleymaniye mosque is one of the most famous in all of Türkiye. Probably completed in 1560, this mosque was a great feat of the Ottomans, perhaps seeking to pass the Roman structures that made up most of Fatih's grandeur. We enjoy visiting here in the morning, followed by a cup of Turkish tea while looking out over the Golden Horn, before descending on the street bazaar. Also pictured are fountains for Wudu/ablution, washing before entering, specifically before prayer and other rituals. #istanbul #turkey #constantinople #mosaics #fatih #süleymaniye
