Day Trip to Iznik, Turkey (Ancient Nicea) | Turkish Ceramic Tiles, Picking Wild Thyme, Hagia Sophia

[@trouttripper]

I took the drive to Iznik a couple of times while living in Eskisehir. i really enjoyed the history in Iznik

[@ohsopom]

Yes, there is so much stuff to see of historical importance in that area that I hadn't known about prior. It's a nice little place to see outside of the more well-known areas in Turkey. Thank you for watching!

I enjoy your videos, so calm and charm. I like that you focus on the old city and the culture and the old ruins..

[@ohsopom]

Thank you! They’re fun videos to make, too.

Is there any remains of the council of Nicaea?

[@ohsopom]

The Hagia Sofia church (now mosque) that I show in the video is said to be where the council met. As far as artifacts from that time period of the church, I am unaware if there are any. The layout of the building gives hints at its past and I could see very faint frescoes on the walls, but I’m unsure of what time period those are from. Sorry, this area of history is not my expertise but I’m sure there is good information out there online about it as I know many tour buses still come through to this day to explore this Christian site. Thank you for watching.

@ohsopom I truly appreciate that you took the time to respond to me. When Paul wrote the letter to the church of Corinth, (Corinthians) which is now Turkey. Any information by chance you have on that?

[@ohsopom]

Sorry, I’m not familiar with it. When I try looking it up it says it’s in Greece (unless I’m searching for the wrong thing). Wish I could be of more help.
