Full Day Old City Tour (10:00-16:00)

We start our tour in the Sultanahmet district, the heart of old Istanbul. Built by Emperor Justinian in the early 6th century AD; designed by Anthemius of Tralles and Isodore of Miletus, Hagia Sophia is considered one of the wonders of world architecture. This structure, which was converted into a mosque in 1453, is currently used as a museum. Inside, there are many mosaics along with the striking portraits of many emperors and empresses, as well as the Statue of the Virgin Mary and Child. After this, we will visit the Sultanahmet Mosque, which takes its name the elegant tiles decorating its interior. Built in the early 17th century by Sultan Ahmet I and designed by a student of Sinan, the greatest architect of the Ottoman period, this mosque is the only imperial mosque with six minarets. Immediately after this, we will visit the Hippodrome, the stadium of ancient Byzantium. This place hosted 100,000 spectators and exhibited objects of the empire in every corner. Among these objects, the Egyptian Obelisk and the bronze statue of three intertwined snakes Delphi have survived to the present day. Our next stop is the Grand Bazaar, the commercial heart of the old city. There are approximately 4,000 stores here selling carpets, rugs, jewelry, ceramics, and leather. After completing the first step of our tour, we have lunch and begin our second step by visiting Topkapi Palace, the main residence of the Ottoman Sultans the 15th to the 19th century. Here we will visit the Imperial Treasury and the Baghdad Kiosk. This palace has many unique jewelry collections, including the Spoonmaker's Diamond, one of the largest diamonds in the world. We will also visit the Imperial Armory, where Ottoman weapons used for centuries are exhibited. Our last stop, Hagia Irene, is one of the few churches in Istanbul that has not been converted into a mosque, as the Church of the Holy Peace was used as an armory until the 19th century. Hagia Irene is said to have the distinction of being the first church built in Byzantium, as it stood on the site of a pre-Christian temple and was transformed as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.
