    Chora Church/Kariye Camii

    Posted by ScottAnthony 6 January 2006

    This former church and mosque is unmissably beautiful and is, in my opinion, in many ways a more satisfying experience than Aya Sofya.

    Church of St Saviour in Chora

    Posted by sladescross 13 October 2005

    This ancient church is one of the few places where you can see original byzantine iconography. The Haghia Sofia notwithstanding.

    It is small but perfect and well worth the treck out to see. May be best combined with seeing the Golden Gate in Yedikule Castle and then taxi up passing the Theodosian walls.
