A Description of the Virtual Walk on this VideoAll photos on this page are actual still captures from this Video.
The Exotic Istanbul Virtual Walk begins on the north side of the Galata Bridge, looking toward the Golden Horn. 
After crossing the Galata Bridge, the viewer enters into the Eminonu Pier area, and stops briefly to admire the traditional Turkish boats awaiting passengers. 
Then after crossing the busy street, the camera enters one of the numerous street markets and, dodging locals, enters the Spice Market for a brief visit. 
Then it's up a steep market street alive with the hustle and bustle of men with over-loaded carts making their way up and down the hill. 
The walk next takes you into the courtyard of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque which is also known as the Blue Mosque.
Walking through a crowded park, the camera takes you to a fountain with a view of Hagia Sophia in the distance. 
Next the walk takes you past street vendors and past the elaborate fountain kiosk of Sultan Ahmed III. 
Then through the Imperial Gate and into the First Courtyard of the Topkapi Place. Click here to watch video clips from this Video. To Purchase this video as a DVD or as a 720p HD Download, please click here. 
The next section of your walk takes you into the courtyard of the New Mosque built in 1597. 
Then onto a wide modern pedistrian only shopping district followed by more traditional Turkish stalls displaying their wares. 
Next the camera enters one of the most famous sites in Istanbul, the Grand Bazaar containing more than 3,000 shops. 
On an average day 250,000 people visit the Grand Bazaar and today appears to be an "average" day. 
The camera, always moving forward, has to dodge, weave in and out, and maneuver in order to make its way through the locals and tourists. 
Leaving the Grand Bazaar after a 10 minute visit, the camera enters a tranquil park before heading downhill... Click here to watch video clips from this Video. To Purchase this video as a DVD or as a 720p HD Download, please click here.
