ABOUT

"The Bosphorus Strait or Bosporus Strait is a natural strait and an internationally significant waterway located in northwestern Turkey. It forms part of the continental boundary between Asia and Europe, and divides Turkey by separating Anatolia from Thrace. It is the world's narrowest strait used for international navigation."
FROM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosporus

I'm in Istanbul, Turkey!

"Istanbul, Turkish İstanbul, formerly Constantinople, ancient Byzantium, largest city and principal seaport of Turkey. It was the capital of both the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

The old walled city of Istanbul stands on a triangular peninsula between Europe and Asia. Sometimes as a bridge, sometimes as a barrier, Istanbul for more than 2,500 years has stood between conflicting surges of religion, culture, and imperial power. For most of those years it was one of the most coveted cities in the world."

HAGIA SOPHIA
For times to visit and etiquette: https://muze.gen.tr/muze-detay/ayasofya

"Hagia Sophia is a great architectural beauty and an important monument both for Byzantine and for Ottoman Empires. Once a church, later a mosque, and now a museum at the Turkish Republic, Hagia Sophia has always been the precious of its time."

GALATA TOWER

"The Galata Tower (Turkish: Galata Kulesi), or with the current official name Galata Kulesi Museum (Turkish: Galata Kulesi Müzesi), is a tower in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey. It is named after the quarter in which it is located, Galata. Built as a watchtower at the highest point of the Walls of Galata,[1] the tower is now an exhibition space and museum, and one of the symbols of Beyoğlu and Istanbul.
