Tour Overview

DailyExplorerDiscoveryFamilyMuseumIn-depth CulturalHistoricalSightseeingWalking Tour

The historic heart of Istanbul, formerly known as Byzantium, was founded as an ancient Greek settlement. It later became the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires, resulting in the construction of numerous grand monuments and mega-structures. These landmarks continue to impress visitors, and the Old Town of Istanbul remains a unique melting pot of cultures and architecture that is unparalleled elsewhere. You are invited to join our complimentary walking tour of Istanbul and experience the magic of this extraordinary city.

Highlights

Column of Constantine, German Fountain, Hagia Sophia Mosque, Hippodrome (Sultanahmet Square), Serpent Column, Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque), The Obelisk of Theodosius, Topkapi Palace Museum

Itinerary

We will transfer you from your hotel in the early morning to Adnan Menderes Airport for your flight to Istanbul. Upon arrival, we will be waiting to pick you up from Istanbul Airport and transfer you to the historic Old City of Istanbul.


Embark on your tour at the Hippodrome, the sports and social hub of ancient Constantinople. Discover iconic historical artifacts, including the Obelisk of Theodosius from Egypt, the Serpentine Column from Delphi, the German fountain gifted by Wilhelm II and more.


Next, visit the Blue Mosque, whose six minarets adorn Istanbul's skyline and are known for their rare blue tiles. Then, head to the Topkapi Palace, the former residence of Ottoman emperors from the 15th to the 19th century. Admire the jewel-studded Treasury, imperial collections, and priceless Oriental porcelain displays. The Hagia Sophia Mosque is the next stop; it is a structure that was equally important to the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. As your guide narrates the turbulent history of this architectural masterpiece, be in awe of the dome and stunning mosaics.


Finally, enter the bazaar, where dozens of shops sell a wide range of goods, from carpets and jewelry to ceramics and leather goods. Take a leisurely stroll around it and savor the aroma of different spices, dried fruits, nuts, sweets, and Turkish delights. We will depart for Cesme through a domestic flight and hotel transfer.
