The Basilica Cistern known for its screen time in the famous Bond movies is as mesmerizing and beautiful as it has been depicted onscreen. One of the largest public development programs of its time and the largest cistern under the city of Istanbul, its unique design and mammoth structures effuses a cave-like effect. Look out for the carvings on the cistern walls and take advantage of the low lighting to capture some truly memorable pictures. A monument that brings to light the genius and technological advancement of the Greeks is a must-see on anyone's list of places to explore in Istanbul.
