Blue Mosque is the great biggest building in the land of Turkey. The Blue Mosque was once named as Sultanahmet Mosque. It is built by Sultan Ahmed during the 16th century. It is made of approximately of 20,000 blue ceramic tiles in the interior that’s why now a day it is known as the Blue Mosque.
The complex of Blue Mosque consists of bazaars, fountains, hammams, hospitals, madrasas, primary schools and tombs. This mosque has a main entrance located on the side of Hippodrome. There are three gates opening the Blue Mosque, while entering these gates you will adorn by the beauty of its fine handmade porcelain tiles and stain glass. The rich porcelain was embedded on the walls of the balconies surrounding the lower levels of the interior.
Upon looking at the mosque from the outside, one will see the eye-catching glamorous domes which appear arise from one to another. During night, this mosque is covered by a great lighted dome striking light at dark city. by andrew and ain
Just a brief note to say we are in Fethiye but sailing over the gulf to another bay this afternoon when the wind gets up. That might be the pattern for the next few days. Wind in the afternoon, so go for a sail then come back to a quiet bay.
Love Ginny and John

If you're not sure what to research, how about trying some of these (coloured green)?
"Today was spent walking in the heat of the day to Kale Koywhere there is a beautiful castle on the hill. We stopped at a cafe in Kale Koy for orange juice andgozleme (Turkish pancake, cooked on a gas fired rounded plate, spread with feta and oregano, folded, cut and eaten). We had been here 2 years ago and the owner, Mustafa, looked after us nicely with tomato and watermelon as well. His cafe overlooked the bay, quite high up, and was wonderfully cool. It's a family affair, with the wife and father cooking, and the daughter running errands.
"In the afternoon we motored the boat to near the end of the deep bay which Üçağız is in, There is an ice cold spring there and we were curious about it. It has been dammed by the locals and is quite a deep narrow pool of freezing water, too cold for us to go into, but it cools the sea water around it very nicely."
Would you go to Turkey
Would you eat Turkish delight?
Would you learn the Turkish language?
