The Galata Tower. A nice feel to the neighbourhood walking up to it, this shopfront workshop with craft sessions caught my eye, you can go and make your own mosaic lamp for €35

Vast, lavish mosques each with a different illuminated banner, they are "mahya", made with LEDs now, previously with oil lamps, strung for Ramadan. The messages are quite humanistic
Spookily quiet bazaar district, mediaeval layout, chaos architecture, populated by stray cats and late-night workmen, quite suddenly emerging into a glossy district of silver workers. Telling myself i don't need any silver. Looking forward to seeing more of this in daylight :)
A duet or duel between the two big mosques in Sultanahmet Square, recording the lunchtime call to prayer from a little park in between
