Sailing the Bosphorous - which means 'cow crossing' - the legend goes that Hera, the wife of Zeus didn't like one of Zeus' mistresses (I am not sure if she liked the others or what..) and so she changed her into a cow and then afflicted her with gnats. To escape the gnats the 'cow' swam across the water.... hence the name. Anyway, sailing the Bosphorous on Christmas day. This huge fortress below is on the narrowest part of the water and guarded the way. Across from it on the other side is the other part of the fortress.
We attended a great folk dance show - two of the many dances performed.
