My best friend from high school Kinnari Shah and I have made it our thing to travel together every few years, and this trip we settled on Istanbul, in part because neither of us had ever been, and in part because our AP Art History teacher, Madame Gehrels, taught us about the beautiful architecture there, especially the Hagia Sofia.
When I studied Hagia Sofia in college, my professor said that he envied those of us who hadn't seen it yet because we still had that moment of wonder to experience the first time we saw it in person. Like you, this made quite an impression and remains a place I would love to experience.

Amazing shot - I've always wanted to visit that ole Byzantium. So much history. Enjoy your trip, Jay! I'll be living vicariously through you 🤓
We are going in October, now I know of a "must see". Thanks.
Allow at least 4 hours for Hagia Sophia and another 4 hours for the surrounding sights.
So beautiful thank you for sharing!
