Day Six Revisit Part 1 - Friday June 11 - Istanbul
Today we spent hitting the major sites in Istanbul. The majority are within walking distance of each other.
First stop, the Hippodrome - Sultanahmet Meydanı. This is a location outside of the Blue Mosque where the ancient hippodrome (horse square) was located, built in approximately 330 AD. This is now a park area. There are several interesting monuments here, including the German Fountain, the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpent Column, and the Walled Obelisk.
