Attraktioner i Turkey
1. Hagia Sophia
Istanbul
Hurtige fakta: Duften af gammel kalk og voks blander sig med ekkoet af stemmer under den enorme kuppel, mens mosaikkerne glimter i spredt lys. Få bygninger får gæster til at tabe pusten, med søjler hentet fra fjerne provinser og en kuppel der synes at svæve over rummet.
Højdepunkter: Kuppelens ring af cirka 40 vinduer lader lyset strømme ind som en krans af stjerner, så den 31 meter brede kuppel ser ud til at svæve over publikum, især ved solopgang. I den sydlige gang står den såkaldte grædende søjle med et slidt hul, hvor besøgende gennem århundreder har stukket en tommelfinger ind for at bede om helbredelse eller held, en lille, håndgribelig tradition mindst lige så mærkbar som mosaikkerne fra 500-tallet.

Spring restauranterne på Sultanahmet-pladsen over, gå to blokke væk fra turiststriben for ægte mad til halv pris. Spørg de lokale til anbefalinger.

Kystbyer er smukke, men juli føltes som en fest hver dag. Strande fyldte, priser op, og søvnen larmende. Tag i skuldersæsonen.

Køb en Istanbulkart i lufthavnen, genopladelig og meget billigere end enkeltbilletter. Færger slår myldretidstrafikken og giver flotte udsigter.

Ballon-solopgangen i Kappadokien er uvirkelig, men Tyrkiet overraskede mig: fantastisk mad, kaotiske bazarer, venlige folk. Ti dage føltes rigtigt.

Elskede kebaberne og teen, men Istanbul kan være overvældende med folkemængder og larmende nætter. Taxaer prøver nogle gange at overbelaste, så prut om prisen.
