In addition to the Grand Bazaar, there
are numerous outdoor markets in Istanbul. At these outdoor markets, the residents of the city can buy many of the goods that they need. |

Walking around the city was quite an
exotic experience with new sights and sounds around every corner. One of my most striking memories was the sound of the muezzin summoning the Muslim faithful to prayer. |

One of the other sights that many
visitors to Istanbul might not be aware of are the city walls that still surround some parts of the city. They were originally constructed to protect the city from invasion. |
