Ottoman Highlights

Six unhurried hours through the Ottoman court. We begin under the cascading domes of the Blue Mosque, then move through the four courtyards of Topkapı — the kitchens, the treasury, the sacred relics — and finally into the Harem, the most private and most misunderstood quarter of the palace, where the lives of the valide sultans actually played out.
