It
used to be that no one visited Istanbul in winter.
You came in the summer to see Topkapi
Palace, Aya
Sofya (Hagia Sophia), the Sultanahmet
(Blue) Mosque, the Byzantine Hippodrome and
the Bosphorus.
Now Istanbul is
busy with visitors year round. Winter has
become one of my favorite times
to visit: sights are
uncrowded, prices for hotels are
lower, there's less bustle.
The weather can
be dreary or, as you see here,
gloriously sunny.
