We were happy to see Ebru again for our architectural tour which included the beautiful CAMii mosque, I believe.  We then walked through a narrow and busy market to another mosque with beautiful tiles throughout.  Ebru chose a restaurant for lunch which had a great view of the water and all of the ferries going back and forth.  The food was delicious and the view was even better.  We then travel by ferry to the Asia side with a long walk along the Bosporus with the mansions hidden behind high walls.  Ebru gave us great directions to get to our hotel - how to ride the small bus to the ferry port, how to find the right ferry and then how to catch the tram to our hotel.  We were quite proud how we maneuvered through the city on public transportation as we watched the jammed traffic on the streets.

Ebru showed us a side of Istanbul that we had not seen starting with a fascinating tour of the Chora Church and ending at the, I believe, the Romanian orthodoxy church made out of cast iron.  In between we had an interesting walk through an old residential area, a visit to an old orthodoxy church, a great lunch at a Greek restaurant followed by walking tour though an older part of Istanbul that was being gentrified.  The tour showed us the cultural complexity of Istanbul

Reyan met us at our Sultanahmet based hotel and as we walked to the Grand Bazar, we stop at an oriental rug dealer and learned much about Turkish rugs and what makes them a work of art.  The walk through of the Grand Bazar and the 4000 shops inside was mind boggling.  I could not understand how Reyan found her way through it but she stopped at some of the most interesting and sometimes the oldest shops.  But the highlight was Reyan&#39;s leading us through what must the oldest part of the Grand Bazar where artisans were taking over what must have been the original three hundred year old (or more) part of the bazar.  Absolutely fascinating.  The spice market was another great education followed a by a ferry ride to Kadikoy for an outside lunch at a great restaurant.  Reyan was a great guide to a fascinating cultual side of Istanbul.
