Sophie B.Sophie Bakalar: Beautiful little church away from all the tourist attractions in Istanbul. Great examples of Byzantine art and mosaics. It's very tiny though; only three rooms to tour during renovations.

Hazal E.Hazal Erol: If you have a chance, I recommend you to visit this museum with a tour guide. (If you find a cheapest one of course) It is worth to listen the story behind the fresco and mosaics.
