Heavy interiors need breathers — build garden pauses and tea.
Sequence
- Hagia Sophia calm window
- Tea + light meze
- Topkapi Palace (courtyards → harem → treasury)
Time Blocks
| Block | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mosque | 60 min | Respect lanes; ambient photos |
| Lunch | 45 min | Light; hydrate |
| Topkapi | 150–210 min | Harem mid‑afternoon to avoid crowd peaks |
Energy & Etiquette
- Alternate shade/sun; carry water
- Lower voice in harem rooms; narrow corridors
