Evpatoria
Another beautiful place from Crimea with some beautiful Ottoman buildings..The most important one is the Khan Mosque built in 1552 by the famous Architect Sinan of The Ottoman Empire..We had the chance to witness the religious weddings of some Tatar couples there..
Another one is a dervish lodge and its mosque from the same period.
Evpatoria is an important harbour city in Crimea but it you are looking for sandy beaches you should go outside of the city..
It is full of beautiful old buildings from the imperial days of Russia, but the whole city is waiting a strong hand to renovate them..

Looks like Barbie has found her way there too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, a pity you don't have pictures from the inside of the mosque. I assume you are in Turkey now. Enjoy it.
