harem shutters at Topkapi Palace. Istanbul.

Topkapi Palace is, in my opinion, one of the most overpriced and overrated attractions on planet earth. Visiting the harem cost an additional fee on top of the already-steep general admission cost, and this is the only photo I got out of the deal that I'm even willing to show. I wish I would have skipped this and played backgammon all day instead. Learn from my mistake.
