Bodrum, Turkey


This shows a wonderful restaurant in Bodrum close to the harbour with the Bodrum castle in the background.  Waterfront dining under the stars in my view is very romantic. I can just picture myself there.

Thanks very much Cuneyt for the postcards and fridge magnets.

Bodrum, Turkey


Bodrum is a popular holiday resort in Turkey.  There you can see the yacht harbour and above it the Bodrum castle or the medieval castle of St. Peter.

Sultanahmet Mosque, Istanbul


I was so surprised when I received some more postcards and even fridge magnets from Cuneyt from Turkey.  This first postcard shows the Sultanahmet Mosque in Istanbul.  It was built between 1609 and 1616. The mosque is popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior.  It is still used today and is also a very popular tourist attraction.

This postcard shows the maiden tower and bosphorous bridge of Istanbul.  The Bosphorus Bridge connects Europe to Asia.  Thanks Cuneyt.
