Istanbul Tour - 4 Days/3 Nights

The 4-day Istanbul tour begins when you arrive at Istanbul Airport. Our representative will meet you at Istanbul Airport, holding a sign with your name, and transfer you to your hotel. You are free for the rest of the day. You may explore the streets of Istanbul by yourself. Overnight stay in Istanbul.

Our guide will meet you at your hotel’s lobby at 08:30, and we’ll start the day's tour. First, we’ll visit the Blue Mosque, also known as Sultanahmet Mosque, built between 1609-1617, best known for its six minarets and blue Iznik tiles that lend the mosque its name. Next, we’ll stroll around the Hippodrome Square, where horse races took place and entertainment, sports, and political activities were organized during the Roman and Byzantine periods. Here, we will see the Serpent Column from Delphi in Greece, the Egyptian Obelisk, the German Fountain of Wilhelm ll, and the tombs of Ottoman sultans and princes. Afterward, we’ll visit Saint Sophia (Hagia Sophia) built by the emperor Justinian in 532 - 537. Designed and built as a church, Hagia Sophia was later converted into a mosque in the Ottoman period and became a museum afterwards. Then, we’ll visit Topkapı Palace, which served as the administrative centre of the Ottoman Empire for over 400 years, from the 15th to the 19th centuries, and as the home of the Sultans and their families. It hosts an outstanding collection of famous jewels of the Ottoman Imperial Treasury, daggers decorated with precious diamonds and stones, swords, war armours, the Spoonmaker's Diamond, crystals, silver items, Chinese porcelain, and elegant dresses once used by sultans and their families members.

Afterwards, we’ll have a lunch break at a local restaurant (Included). Finally, we’ll be visiting the Grand Bazaar, the world's oldest and largest covered bazaar, made up of 61 covered streets. It is home to over 4.000 shops selling anything from carpets, jewellery, leather, and souvenirs to garments, bags, decorations, spices, and home textiles in an exotic and unique atmosphere, always bustling with locals and tourists.
