SIGHTSEEING TRIPS AND EXCURSIONS AROUND ISTANBUL

Established in 324 AD by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine, Istanbul was, for nearly a thousand years, the most important city in the Western and Near Eastern world. The chime of church bells mingles with the mystical call of the muezzin to the faithful. Asia and Europe, ancient and contemporary, merge to create one of the most amazing cities in the world: ISTANBUL.

Tourists who come to visit Istanbul have the opportunity to enjoy our shopping tour. The first store market to be visited will be a shoe centre, drug store, and souvenirs.

Free of charge.

The historical tour starts with a visit to Sultan Ahmet (the Blue Mosque) built in 1616 and unique in the world for its six minarets, its blue frescoes containing 22000 blue Iznik tiles and its Harem balcony. After that we visit the Hippodrome, the Roman - Byzantine horse racing arena where gladiatorial combats also took place, and then we come to the St. Sophia Museum, the greatest Roman - Byzantine architectural masterpiece with its solid gold figures and geometrical ceiling mosaics. If you want to visit and see the beauty and attractiveness of the Ottoman Sultans, where they lived over hundreds of years you can choose to go to the Topkapi Palace, which overlooks the Bosphorus Bridge, constructed in 1973.
