Definitely worth seeing even if it is off the main area. Mosaics were colorful and very descriptive. The first I have seen showing the death bed of the Virgin Mary, More

There's not a great deal to see - it's close to all the other sights and is worth a visit. You go through nice streets to get to it and it's and interesting neighbourhood. Very old. But the mosque itself has a very new feel to it (although it is very very old) as it's been newly refurbished. More

Our room at the Amira actually overlooked the 'Little Hagia Sophia' and we walked down to have a look. It was well worth it. A smallish mosque, still in Sultanahmet - this used to be the Church of Saint Sergius and Saint Baccus - it is a site with a very long history. Interesting interior with two levels. More

It is all on a small scale so a nice change from huge monuments... More

This mosque is not as busy as the Blue Mosque and is much smaller; it has a small market of artisans around it to buy personalized Turkish art. More

I stayed right near this old converted church -- it is very beautiful and peaceful, and a local crafts group is located in an adjacent lot. It really DOES look like a minature Hagia Sophia from the outside! More

Average because of a renovation that has almost wiped out all the signs of its history. Inside it looks almost brand new, not 1500 years old. This building is in fact older than Hagia Sophia. It made me slightly sad, the sterile way they have worked on the interior, no matter how beautiful the interior is though. It just clashes... More
