The first two here are of the Church of St. George. In short this is the principal cathedral of the Orthodox Church and the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and Ecumenical Patriarch (the head honchos). I cannot wait to go back to this place with my new camera!
These next four pictures are of the Church of St. Savior in Chora. It is a bit out of the way, but the breathtaking mosaics make it worth the trip (yes, these are mosaics, not paintings, that you see)! It is considered to be one of the most beautiful examples of a Byzantine church.
