Travel: Turkey-Istanbul III


The third day in Istanbul was reserved for exploring Eminönü district and boat cruising. 
One of main attractions in this district is certainly Spice Bazaar, across from the Galata Bridge.
Mısır Çarşisi- Spice Bazar -Egyptian Bazaar
 
Just next to the Spice Bazzar are: 
And Rüstem Pasha Mosque- designed by the Ottoman imperial architect Mimar Sinan.
At Eminönü, near Galata Bridge, you can take one of many   Bosphorus ferry cruises.
