or was that Istanbul?

Here’s Matt, our personal guide to Istanbul. A great guide: He related almost all the sights to a Hollywood movie he had seen.
The Obelisk of Theodosius, Movie Ref: Hitman
Sultanahmat Meydani, Movie ref: The Net 2
Called the “Blue Mosque” to anyone outside of Istanbul
Please Do Not Sit Here
Hagia Sophia, Movie Ref: From Russia with Love
Church, then a mosque, now a museum
Cats ‘sunning’ themselves in the museum
Underground cistern; Movie Ref: From Russia with Love.
Medusa head in the cistern
Inside Topkapi Palace; Movie Ref: Topkapi
The Dagger! It’s what everybody wants to see in the palace!
There were other places like the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market that we might have visited, but they were closed (it was the last days of Ramadan). Too bad, too because these two places made excellent movie backdrops! Maybe next time?
