istanbul yalilari


I think these houses must be the Hansel&Gretel sugar houses. It feels like you can just rip a piece off and eat it. They are too old, most probably you will end up with a piece if you hold any part anyway:) Traditionally, Ottoman buildings were built of ornate wood. Only "state buildings" such as palaces and mosques were built of stone. So you can see these kind of wooden houses around very often.
