Poor Hagia Irene never gets the attention accorded to her sister church, Hagia Sophia. It was built during the Byzantine Golden Age so it's just as old. The Turkish government doesn't help matters by closing the church to the public. If you find yourself walking through the main courtyard of Topkapi Palace, spare a moment to check out Hagia Irene.
The city's most ancient church is in Istanbul, but it is a little expensive and a little expensive.
