Küçük
Ayasofya ("Little
Hagia
Sophia") is the ancient
Byzantine Church
of Saints Sergius and Bacchus converted
to a mosque. It's down the hill to
the south of the Blue
Mosque (map).
You reach this area by walking downhill
from the southeast corner of the Hippodrome along Nakilbent Sokak, or behind the
Blue
Mosque, through the Arasta
Bazaar, and down Küçük
Ayasofya Caddesi which runs
downhill to the Küçük
Ayasofya Mosque.
Along Küçük
Ayasofya Caddesi, and to the
left and right on side streets, are numerous
hotels in
a variety of styles and price ranges,
and also a small laundry. From
most, it's only a few minutes' walk
uphill to the southwestern end of the Hippodrome,
and a few more minutes to Ayasofya and Topkapı
Palace.
Many of the hotels here
have roof terraces and
even roof restaurants with
views of the Bosphorus, Sea
of Marmara and Princes
Islands.
All four junior suites and the
rooftop terrace at this quietly
refined small hotel on a good untrafficked
street have views of the Sea
of Marmara. A few of the 7 guest
rooms have views of the Blue
Mosque. Tell them
you've come from TurkeyTravelPlanner.com and
you'll receive a complimentary fruit
basket, bottle of wine,
Turkish
Delight, and
perhaps even a free airport transfer. More...
