An interesting tourist attraction. A historical place that is no longer used for its intended purpose, but impresses with its monumentality. We were here about 10 years ago, and so we decided to visit again this year. Over the past time, the cisterns can be said to have been transformed. Now, cool water lighting has been done here, and objects of modern art are being demonstrated. We had a choir performance - the acoustics of the venue were not very good, but the performance itself was very impressive and unexpected. We liked it, come on in! )

It's a great place! Spare no expense on the ticket, yes, it's expensive, but it's atmospheric. I also liked that you can shoot, no one is against it. Quite pleasant impressions remained, even though they came under closure.

I don't understand such delight. It's dark, the lights turn on periodically, and there are a lot of old columns. If you skip your visit to Istanbul, you will not lose anything. Even to cool off in the heat, there are more pleasant places.
