Colleagues, hello everyone!

Historically, Fatih is the richest historical district of Istanbul. The population density here is prohibitive, because about 500,000 people live in a relatively small area, or even more. Almost like in my native Sevastopol.

But Fatih, as you understand, this is a very large district of the European part of Istanbul, and just like that, we cannot swallow it.

Therefore, let's virtual cut it into pieces-areas in order to get to know them better and understand their value in terms of tourism.

And here are its quarters:

• Sultanahmet
• bayazit
• Laleli
• Aksaray
• Yenikapi
• Sirkeci
• Eminonu
• Balat

Sultanahmet area

The historical part of Istanbul, which is under protection UNESCO. Pedestrian streets, chic atmosphere, the best cafes in the city (albeit expensive), the holy trinity of attractions - Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque - all here.

The place is romantic, although noisy. But, wherever you look, you are surrounded by sights and the breath of the Marmara Sea. What could be better?

In principle, you don’t need to go anywhere, and if you want, then at your service. The city center is pedestrian and only trams and taxis run along the road, which of course affects the atmosphere.

If possible, stay here. Without a doubt, this is the most hit offer you can count on. Hotels here can be of a very different class: from luxury apartments to modest rooms with authentic ceilings.

But almost everywhere you can expect to be rewarded with a breakfast terrace overlooking the most important sights of the city.

Hotels in the area Sultnahmet better, and we will look at detailed examples in a separate article.

Beyazit District

Well, as they say, every frog praises his swamp. So I will now give you a basket of advantages of living in this area, since we lived here for the first time in Istanbul.

Curl your fingers:

1. Close location to the center. 2 tram stops to Sultanahmet or 10 minutes walk. Well, there are only 5 stops to the Galata Bridge. Gorgeous!
2. Cheap food. In our area it is really 2 times cheaper to eat than in the center. In addition, it is easy to get into a party place - the Kumkapi area.
3. Inexpensive housing. 100-150 lire for a family room with breakfast!
4. Grand Bazaar 200 meters away
5. Exchange money at the best exchange rate in town

The only negative that is worth considering is that the entire part of the Aksaray, Laleli, Bayazit districts, which is located between the tram tracks and the Sea of ​​​​Marmara, has a not frail hill.

We lived very close to the tram tracks, so there were no problems. But if your accommodation is somewhere in the middle or even closer to the sea, then every day you will have to take a run up.

Keep this in mind if you are not a walker or have children with you.

From the sights Beyazit here is the Grand Bazaar and the triumphal column of Constantine, a couple of old Turkish hamams, mosques and several museums of the second magnitude.

Here is our hotel Oban Suite Istanbul which I recommend not only for the comfort and price, but also for the cool staff!

Laleli District

This is not a district, but a large trading warehouse and a bunch of shopping streets. When my wife and I thought about buying something leather, we were sent straight here. Russian merchants settle here, so the Russian language is understood here with a bang.

But do not think that the area Laleli one big market. Everything is very, very decent. True, do not expect calm and sincere walks here. In the morning you will be invited to make purchases, and in the evening they will whistle after you.

In terms of transport interchange - no complaints. Everything is very close by tram T1 even though it's a bit far from the city center.

Aksaray District

This is the most extreme area that may be of interest to tourists.

The location is very good, along the T1 tram line, so there will be no problems with moving. It is the intersection of several public transport stations (bus to the airport and bus station) and highways.

Aksaray interesting except in terms of saving money on hotels. Mosques, Fatih Park and several small museums - that's probably the whole list of attractions. Also suitable for those who do not like obviously tourist places to stay.

Yenikapı area

The area is a large hub for several modes of transport. See for yourself:

• green branch metro M2- takes the audience to the Taksim quarter
• red branch metro M1– delivery of passengers to Aksaray and to the bus station
• electric train Marmaray– connection with the Asian side of Istanbul
• ferries IDO- transport everyone to the coastal towns of Yalova, Bursa, Bandirma
• bus terminus IST-1Y from

Nearby is the fish market and, according to an old Turkish tradition, fish restaurants across the road.

From the area YenikapI by bus along the Kennedy Coastal Highway you can get to the Sirkeci area, and if you take the hill by storm, you will be in the Beyazit area.

However, this area not very popular tourists for accommodation.

This is an area that is already located between Sultanahmet Square and the Galata Bridge, leading to the so-called New town .

This is the second most popular area for tourists, and for independent travelers, I would say, even the first. Why?

Also, as in the case of the Beyazit area, it has all its advantages in terms of cheapness and accessibility of Sultanahmet Square. And on the other hand, very close to Eminonu with its ferries and seascapes.

And one more bonus. Underground-underwater in no time will transport you to the Asian part of Istanbul. You can't imagine a better location.

The famous Orient Express, Gulhane Park and Hadjipasa Entertainment Center are all here.

Eminonu District

An interesting and lively corner of Istanbul, which is similar to Yenikapı, located at a crossroads, but with a more advantageous position for tourists.

Around the sea surface and attractions: Galata Bridge, Sultanahmet Square, the New Mosque and the Egyptian Bazaar. You won't get bored here. Moreover, in 15 minutes you can walk to my favorite Galata tower.

Eminonu Piers, the largest and busiest in all of Istanbul, are the center of attention. From here you can swing anywhere.

The main specialization of the area is the sale of the famous Balik Ekmek. You can buy it anywhere, but in my guide I recommend where to try the most delicious ones.

It has its own bus station, from where buses will take you to any neighboring area. The bus from the airport is also parked here. IST-1S.

But still for living instead Eminonu, I'd rather consider the nearby quarter of Sirkeci.

This is the last area of ​​our review of the Old City. It is not located as centrally as the others mentioned, but has its own charm and atmosphere.

You can get here either by ferry, which runs along the strait Golden Horn or by bus. There is no metro here, although very soon they are going to launch a tram line along the coast from the Eminonu district.

Although, until recently, this area was sinned by devastation and gypsy showdowns, today it acquires completely different shades. Orthodox churches, among which the magnificent Bulgarian church , the remains of fortress walls and embankments for a walk along the strait.

Balat- this is an interesting option for those who are tired of the bustling Sultanahmet and Eminonu. Yes, and housing prices here are really lower than in the previous two.

Well, friends, we covered the most popular district of Istanbul, Fatih, with a quiet glanders. In we will go through the districts through Galata bridge . Well, there we will come to the conclusion where it will be most convenient for you to settle.

If you are going to go to Istanbul, then you will find an increased concentration of tips and tricks in the guide "". Juicy and authentic!

Now the Sultanahmet district is the undisputed landmark of Istanbul. However, in Byzantine Constantinople, as a territory, it was no less, but rather more remarkable and significant for history buffs. Sultanahmet is located in the historical center of the city. The large square of the center of Istanbul conditionally consists of two parts: the square between Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque (in the title photo) and the Hippodrome Square (At Meydanı) itself, on which ancient columns and obelisks, installed back in the Byzantine period, have survived to this day and also the German Fountain, donated to the city and Sultan Abdul-Hamid II by Kaiser Wilhelm II. The square got its name from the mosque of Sultan Ahmet (Blue Mosque), located right there. Although Sultanahmet Square does not officially exist, everyone always knows what it is about.

Nowadays, the Hippodrome or Hippodrome Square is mainly called the second part of Sultanahmet Square. In general, by and large, Sultanahmet is part of the land of the cape between the Golden Horn Bay, the Bosphorus Strait and the Sea of ​​​​Marmara. We will learn about the most concentrated historical center of Istanbul in terms of sights and not only take a walk there, but also present for ourselves, as it were, a brief guide to the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul, which will be useful to anyone who will be there for the first time. I have already talked about some of these attractions, such as Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, but soon I will talk about others for which the time will come to make active links in the list below. By the way, without this kind of table of contents, it would be difficult for me to concentrate and create for myself a target plan for future publications about the historical places and monuments of Istanbul. Well, now let's dive into this unforgettable historical context, this unique atmosphere of the ancient city - Constantinople, which appeals to us in everything that was born on the site of today's Turkish Istanbul. The call of Constantinople, Tsargrad will be the very incentive that leads me and initiates the processing of all this immense material that I brought from here from my July trip of 2017.

So, attractions of the square (district) Sultanahmet:

12. Mausoleum of Sultan Ahmed I
13.

17.

We will not look at the map, this can always be done by an inquisitive mind on its own. "Let's stretch our gaze" to the cape, where the first hill of the Second Rome was located. Before us is the Sultanahmet district. This is a view from the Galata Hill, or rather from its highest point - the Galata Tower.
02.

Here he is, Sultanahmet!
Or maybe - right there - Hagia Sophia!?!
03.

Embankment near the Gulhane Park on the arrow of the Golden Horn and the Bosporus...
04.

Topkapi Palace. We will soon see it all up close.
05.

Yes! Of course, Hagia Sophia!
06.

In front of us in the foreground (photo below) is the oldest shopping area of ​​Eminemyu. Here we will take the city light rail and will be in the Sultanahmet area in a few minutes.
08.

We got off the tram and head towards Hippodrome Square. As they say, "a holiday is on the street" - the anniversary of the suppression of the rebellion of the military in Istanbul in July 2016. It is on this occasion that festive flags with the state flags of Turkey are hung everywhere. By the way, as a result, we traveled for two weekends free of charge on all types of public transport, including sea ferries to the Asian coast of Istanbul.
09.

During the Byzantine Empire, citizens gathered here to watch sports. There were also political meetings, which often ended in riots and fights.
10.

Equestrian competitions in antiquity were very popular, so every more or less large ancient city had a hippodrome. In ancient Byzantium, the hippodrome was built in 203. In 330, Emperor Constantine I officially declared Byzantium the capital of the Byzantine Empire, calling it New Rome, or Constantinople. Among other transformations, a large construction was launched to increase and decorate the hippodrome.
11.


Foundations of the Hippodrome

Spectator stands could accommodate up to 40 thousand spectators. Now it is difficult to imagine this amazing ancient spectacular complex on this place. Only the ruins of the foundations of this majestic structure remind of him...
12.

And this area is the Hippodrome. You can even imagine high spectator stands here)
13.

The undoubted attraction of Istanbul is Egyptian obelisk.

The Egyptian obelisk was erected by the emperor of the Roman Empire Theodosius the Great in 390 AD. By order of the emperor, the obelisk was delivered to Constantinople: first, they overturned it on an embankment and, dragging it to the banks of the Nile, loaded it onto a barge; then, floating to Alexandria, they were reloaded onto a special ship. In the process of transportation, the obelisk was damaged, or rather, it split. So only one of its upper parts was installed in the Hippodrome.
15.

The pedestal consists of two parts. The lower part is a two-tiered monolith. The lower tier is a straight parallelepiped with a square at the base. The upper one is a similar figure, but with a smaller square at the base and with cells carved at the corners for cubic "crabs" made of red granite. I recommend to make an inspection in the evening when the backlight makes these sculptures at the base of the obelisk mysterious and "talking".
16.

Behind the Egyptian oblisk is the so-called Serpent Column:

Immediately behind the Serpent Column is obelisk of Constantine

Church of the Holy Martyrs Sergius and Bacchus - Small Hagia Sophia

This amazing church is very close to Sultanahmet Square. You just need to go around Marmara University on the left and start descending towards the Sea of ​​Marmara. At the same time, you can see the grandiose remains of the sfenda of the Hippodrome of Constantinople - the site of the spectator stands, once located in a semicircular amphitheater, repeating the southwestern turn of the racetrack of the hippodrome.

The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus is one of the oldest surviving churches in Istanbul, which served as a prototype for the Hagia Sophia (hence the second name - "small Hagia Sophia"). The current temple was built in 527-529. near the house where Emperor Justinian spent his youth. "Small Sophia" was a single ensemble with the earlier church of Sts. Peter and Paul, the last evidence of the existence of which was destroyed by the Istanbul authorities in the 20th century. That the church of St. Sergius and Bacchus were especially loved by the imperial family, which is evidenced by the fact that the initials of Justinian and Theodora are applied to many capitals.

Mosaic Museum.

I didn't get to go there due to lack of time. It is located at the very "end of the Hippodrome" (when viewed from Hagia Sophia) from the Obelisk of Constantine - to the left.

Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts and in the former palace of Ibrahim Pasha. He is also waiting for us to visit) The museum is located almost opposite the obelisk of Constantine, but already on the right side of Hippodrome Square.
19.

Fence blue mosque.
20.

Gate of the Blue Mosque
21.

We walk from the Egyptian obelisk towards Hagia Sophia.
22.

On the left (in the photo above) we have the Blue Mosque, it is not yet visible in the frame.

In order to build a mosque on the Hippodrome Square, buildings of both the Byzantine and early Ottoman periods were destroyed. Among them were BigCastleByzantine emperors, the remains of the spectator seats of the Hippodrome and many palace buildings that belonged to the highest nobility.
24.

Can you imagine the size of the Hippodrome!?! It remains only to slightly strain your imagination.
26.

On the opposite side of the Hippodrome square is the so-called.
27.

The fountain was donated to the Ottoman Empire by the German Empire in memory of Kaiser Wilhelm II's second visit to Istanbul in 1898. The fountain was designed by the architect Spitta, and the construction was supervised by the architect Shoel. The fountain was designed in Germany, then transported in parts to Istanbul and assembled in its present location. Initially, it was planned to open the fountain on September 1, 1900, on the day of the 25th anniversary of the accession of Sultan Abdul-Hamid II, but they did not manage to install the fountain by the required date, and therefore it was opened on January 27, 1901, on the birthday of Wilhelm II.
29.

And this is the ancient Egyptian goddess Bastet, seated on one of the marble blocks of the German Fountain and detachedly looking directly at the Egyptian obelisk. Cats in Istanbul are special, remember only the cat Gli - the main keeper of Hagia Sophia)
30.

To the right of the German Fountain (if you go to Hagia Sophia) - Mausoleum of Sultan Ahmed I(1603-1617) . It is p On the order of Ahmed I in 1609-1616, the Ahmediye Mosque (also known as the Blue Mosque) was built in Istanbul - one of the masterpieces of Muslim architecture. The mausoleum is under reconstruction and therefore is fenced with building fences with colorful images of the mausoleum, its history, interior spaces and layouts. There is no access, of course.
31.

From the German Fountain you can also go to Hagia Sophia.

If you stand in the direction of Hagia Sophia, with your back to the Blue Mosque, then to the right of the fountain and square we will see the famous Baths of Roksolana. Well known to us as Roksolana, the beloved wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska wished to build a hamamm (baths) and ordered the construction of its famous Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, and in 1556 the most famous baths of Istanbul were erected. The building consists of two symmetrical sections - male and female. By the 19th century, these buildings were abandoned, but at the beginning of the 20th century and the end of the 50s, the hamam was restored, and it did not work for its intended purpose until 2007. You can get there only by appointment)
34.

Hagia Sophia

Hagia Sophia - the Wisdom of God - Hagia Sophia of Constantinople, Hagia Sophia (Greek Ἁγία Σοφία) - a former patriarchal Orthodox cathedral, later a mosque, now a museum; the world-famous monument of Byzantine architecture, a symbol of the "golden age" of Byzantium. The official name of the monument today is the Hagia Sophia Museum. I'm already talking about this amazing Byzantine church.
37.

If we keep in mind the photo above, then immediately to the left of Hagia Sophia across the road are the ruins of an Ottoman water meter. According to other versions, it was the ventilation tower of the Basilica Cistern. To the left of this ruin - .
38.

"Mile Zero" in Constantinople was a monumental urban structure located in the very center of the capital of the empire. The Zero Mile building was built in the form of a Tetrapylon, and therefore had a strict cubic shape and entrances on each of the four sides, arranged in the form of triumphal arches. Nothing has survived from her.

Right behind the ruin of the water meter (Basilica) (photo above) in the next lane is the so-called Basilica Cistern. This is just the entrance to it.
39.

We will go around Hagia Sophia on the right and head to the Topkapi Palace.
41.

The ruins are on the southeast side. Grand Palace Byzantine emperors(in the photo above they are to the left outside the frame). The ruins of the imperial palace complex are surrounded by a dense fence and there is no legal access there, at least for now. This fence does not represent any artistic value, therefore I do not post its photo)

And this imperial gate Topkapi Palace - the main gate through which the Sultan entered the territory of the Palace. Behind them is a park, which in the time of the sultans was considered the first courtyard - the courtyard of the Janissaries.
42.

On the right and in front of the Imperial Gate, we can see the magnificent Ottoman Rococo style built in 1728 in the Lale Devri (Tulip) period on a large square in front of the Imperial Gate of Topkapı Palace. During the Ottoman Empire, the fountain was one of the public centers of the city. The pavilion of the fountain of Ahmed III is located on the site of the Byzantine fountain of Peraiton. The architectural decoration of the building reflects the synthesis of traditional Ottoman and modern European styles.
43.

Just outside the Imperial Gate in the first courtyard on the right we will see. This is one of the earliest surviving churches in Constantinople, dedicated to the "Holy Peace". The vestibule of the church is lined with mosaics from the time of Justinian. Inside the open space of the church stands a sarcophagus, in which, according to legend, the remains of Constantine are buried. The first Christian basilica on this site was erected at the beginning of the 4th century on the site of the ruins of the ancient temple of Aphrodite under the Roman emperor Constantine and was the main temple of the city until the construction of Hagia Sophia
44.

If you head towards the Topkapi Palace and turn left down the street - you can visit - a very impressive place I must say. It is a must visit for those interested in the history of the ancient world.
45.

However, we are going to the Sultan's Topkapi Palace. We buy tickets here. It should also be noted that the advertised Museum Card is not for sale anywhere in Istanbul (in July 2017 at least)

This Gate of Welcome Topkapi Palace.
46.

54.

To the left of the entrance to the Gulhane park in the fortress wall is Parade Pavilion with a pointed roof spire. It was used by the sultans to watch processions down the street until 1769.
55.

Gulhane Park very cozy. By late evening, however, a noticeable amount of garbage accumulates on its sidewalks and paths)
56.

During the Ottoman era, the site of the current Gülhane Park was the outer gardens of the Topkapı Palace, mostly planted with trees. In the 20th century, part of the gardens was redesigned into a park by decision of the municipality and opened to the public in 1912. Previously, there were recreation areas, coffee houses, playgrounds in the park, fairs were also held here. Later, a small zoo was opened here. In 1926, the first statue of Atatürk in Turkey was erected in Gülhane Park.

In general, in the historical district of Sultanahmet - the center of Istanbul, there is even something to see.
A day would be enough, but it will not be enough, I vouch. Allocate at least 2-3 days only for this list of attractions)))

Good night Istanbul!
