Basilica Cistern

• The Basilica Cistern is one of the most magical
  places we have ever been to. If you dont know
  what a cistern is, it is a reservoir for storing
  water. This particular cistern is no ordinary
  cistern, as it was made in the 6th century during
  the Byzantine era. It is one of the most popular
  attractions in the city and it is easy to see
  why there is nothing like it anywhere else in
  the world. Back in those days it is easy to see
  that practicality wasnt really the main focus of
  things. Nowadays if a reservoir is built, it is
  very industrial looking.The Basilica Cistern,
  on the other hand, is full of things to marvel
  at. The columns are absolutely beautiful and
  feature great art. The reason they look so
  magical is that they have been affected by water
  and have a green sheen on them, like submerged
  items often do. The green shine gives them a
  mysterious otherworldly look. Dont be worried
  though, the cistern is very well maintained and
  has been renovated often, so there are no safety
  issues. We wouldnt recommend missing out on a
  visit here if you are in Istanbul.

Bosphorus Bridge

• The Bosphorus Bridge is one of the best modern
  sights in Istanbul. In a city filled with so much
  historical beauty it is refreshing to see that
  the new things are beautiful as well. The bridge
  was always remarkable and was the 4th largest
  bridge of its kind when it was made. Nowadays the
  most outstanding aspect of the bridge isnt its
  size, but rather its lighting. The whole bridge
  has a system of LED lights which are controlled
  by computers. These lights can change colors and
  show patterns.Istanbul is already a beautiful
  city but the Bosphorus Bridge lighting up and
  changing colors is a sight to behold. What we
  liked to do was find a bench or spot which had a
  good view of the bridge, and just talk with our
  friends while eating snacks. The bridge looks
  like any other bridge in the day so we would
  recommend coming here in the night time, when the
  lighting is visible and active. It is also a
  great photo opportunity, as anyone who seen this
  bridge in the background of your photo is bound
  to ask you what that thing is. Videos work even
  better.

Eyup Sultan Mosque

• The Eyup Sultan Mosque is one of the most
  important landmarks in the ancient city of
  Istanbul. Located in the citys Eyup district and
  within the vicinity of the Golden Horn, the
  monumental architecture of the mosque comprises
  of the spot where the close companion of the
  Islamic Prophet Muhammad, Abu Ayyub (Eyup in
  Turkish) al-Ansari is reported to have been
  buried.The mosque was built by the Ottoman
  Turks in the year 1453, five years after the
  great conquest of Constantinople which led to the
  capture of the city from the stronghold of the
  former Byzantine Empire. The mosque was built
  with two towering minarets, but was left in a
  damaging state due to the devastating effects of
  an earthquake.
