There were a few things left on the "must see" list. We were up and gone at the break of dawn to cram it all in.
First, the Underground Cistern:
The Hippodrome:
The Ancient City Wall:
And the boardwalk complete with tiny fish, watermelon, pomegranates, a shooting gallery, and spectacular views of the water.
Too soon, it was time to head back to the hotel and make our way to the airport. It is so difficult for me to wrap my mind around the size of Istanbul, but it was a little easier from the air:
We were on our way to Crete!
