Yeni is one of many of the beautiful mosques of Istanbul. The delicate art work on the domes, the caligraphy, the colours and the architecture are all tastefully done and will remain evergreen for many more centuries. These monuments of a glorious past help to make Istanbul one of the most enchanting cities.

The element of water right in the midst of the hustle bustle of the city and the various ferries starting from the Galata Bridge and going from the European side to the Asian side all help make the atmosphere, as does he tolerant and "live and let live" attitude of the people.
