Basilica Cistern (Yerebatan Sarnici)

Istanbul · Turkey

This underground sixth-century cistern with its forest of lit columns and the famous upside-down Medusa head bases is atmospheric enough to feel like a movie set, and children almost universally love it. The cool air is also a welcome break on warm days, and the whole visit takes about forty-five minutes.
