Arriving in Istanbul after a few hours flight from Odessa. The pilot didn't fly over the black sea, due to Russian navy he didn't want to risk anything, I guess. He went west into Romania and then over Bulgaria. The time he reached Turkish water, he went over the sea and then over to the Asian side of Istanbul and landed safe at the SAW airport.
I really like the old center of Constantinople, that is where the Mosques are and some leftovers from the Roman empire. Did you know that Sofia was a church before, she was built a long time ago as a Roman church in the Roman empire. She was Orthodox, Roman Catholic and a museum before. She changed many times and today she is a mosque. I think it is the oldest church in the world that come out of the first christians. This church has seen a lot and protected many people in the past.
If you like to know more about her, I can tell you in a blog post many facts and what I think about it.
