Great mosques - Haluk adjusted his tour so that we could see mosques we had not seen previously, as we had been in Istanbul for ten days by that time. The walk was made more interesting by including a walk through a used book market - and instructions on how to find a lunch spot. Dr. Cetinkaya was incredibly knowledgeable and really fun. All was good.

We were late to the meeting point and even though I called the office they couldn't get in touch with Yavuz. I ended up randomly finding him at the first mosque on the agenda and was happy to take the remainder of the tour. That issue aside, the tour was very good!

I would have loved to have a deeper introduction into Islam. It would be great to do this walk with a devote Muslim/Muslima.
