Directly opposite the Hagia Sophia, the contrasting Blue Mosque is "only" 400 years old. The open area between these two is a place to linger and soak up the atmosphere of the old city.

Food Scene

Several narrow streets make up the area known as Nevizade, where almost every business is a busy restaurant. Sit outside for the street atmosphere or on a roof terrace for views. Ideal for groups as a typical meal is to order a large number of mezes to be shared and eaten slowly (generally with plenty of raki or beer).
