Sultanahmet

Issue V of a travel magazine series from Türkiye. Two days in the heart of old Istanbul. The galleries of Hagia Sophia and their golden Byzantine mosaics, among them the Deesis; the six minarets and blue-tiled domes of the Blue Mosque and the Egyptian obelisk on the old Hippodrome; and, beneath the streets, the forest of columns of the Basilica Cistern and its two Medusa heads.

24 pages of photographs taken on 12–13 October 2026, arranged hour by hour in the order we walked, with history drawn from the information panels at the site. Designed with a classical Greek-key motif throughout.
