On Sunday I went to the nearby Sabancı Museum, which currently has a "Efsane İstanbul" ("Legendary Istanbul") exhibit, detailing the epic history of this city. Some of the items on display are about 8000 years old, recently uncovered in an excavation project to build a new subway. Needless to say, it was a pretty awesome exhibit. There was no photography allowed within the exhibit, sadly. The museum grounds were gorgeous, though:
After dinner I walked down to Bebek, which is a cute little neighborhood on the water. It's full of boats, trendy clothing, beautiful houses, and ice cream shops:
A man just appeared in my room and installed a window screen. I can finally open the window at night! Yay!
Sam, When you get the chance you must go see the
ReplyDelete"Blue Mosque" (that's not it's real name though).
The owner of the Taj Tandoor restaurant recomends
it.
