Chora museum

Hi, it's Nathan, Eli's cooler older brother (don't believe me, ask his teachers). Today my sister, my mother and I went to the chora museum, formally known as the church of the savior in chora, while Eli and my father stayed at the flat and did awesome local activities. The former church, built in the 14th century, is done in the Byzantine style. That means fantastic mosaics, great biblical art, and dome based architecture. Although it is a way away from the main part of Istanbul, and it has a small and unimposing exterior; the chora church bosts some of the most impressive and well preserved mosaics and paintings in all Istanbul and is very much worth a visit. After our visit at the church we took a cab to the grand bazaar and bought some presents for everyone back in the US. I personally would recommoned chora to anyone who enjoys history or art.

This is nathan from adventures in istanbul, refusing to come up with a catchphrase.

Editors Note By Eli: Nathan is not actually cooler than Eli. Just doing some fact-checking!
