Other walks close to Süleymaniye.

Sorted by distance from the start of süleymaniye: sinan's mosque and the old book bazaar. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Sinan's apprentice mosque, a boza shop since 1876, and the Byzantine Pantokrator on the next street.

The Kapalıçarşı at nine in the morning — locals shopping, no tour groups, the architecture finally visible.

The Armenian and Greek quarter on the south side — fish meyhanes in covered passages, the patriarchates around them.

Fishermen, contemporary art, and baklava — three eras of Istanbul in one kilometre by the water.
