Hello everyone,

I'm looking for places to visit in Istanbul or in cities near it that don't require an airplane to go to. I already visited the Blue Mosque, Ayasofya, Basilica Cistern, and Taksim Square.

I'm interested in historical places, and beautiful nature (countryside). Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

You should take advantage and visit Bursa, that is where the ottoman empire originally started, the place is full of history. You can take the ferry from Istanbul to Bursa.

Hello FeminineHeart, I think you should visit Yerebatan Sarnici, Ortak枚y Mosque as well. There are also nice places. You should make a search with "Koru" keyword. "陌stanbul'daki korular" and also "Tarihi k枚艧kler 陌stanbul". You must consider 脺sk眉dar 脟aml谋ca, Beylerbeyi Sarayi, Topkap谋 Saray谋 and many others...

Well outside of Istanbul.. Bursa is one of the important places because it was also a capital of Ottoman Empire before Istanbul. Edirne Selimiye Mosque is also one of the most beautiful architectures of "Mimar Sinan".

That's all for now. I will try to add some more later.

Hope you enjoy your times here.

Istanbul is an international city, However there are a lot of historical places such as you have already mentioned above. If you want a piece of advice, "Princes Islands" or in Turkish "Adalar". One of the most beautiful destination. You can reach there by boats, 2 hours of sea voyage is really a worthy adventure . Moreover, you can discover the islands by horses.
Best wishes.
