Fodor's Review:

When you're ready to take a break from bazaar haggling, follow Uzun Çarsi Sokak, once the major Byzantine shopping street called the Envelos, to another Sinan masterpiece, tucked away in the backstreets to the north of the Egyptian Bazaar and built in the 1550s for Süleyman's grand vizier. The mosque, raised on a high terrace, is unassuming from the outside, but you're in for a treat when you step into the cool interior, decorated with Iznik tiles in a magnificent array of colors and patterns.
