Itinerario
El Hipódromo de Constantinopla, hoy conocido como la plaza Sultanahmet de Estambul, era un antiguo estadio de carreras de carros y un importante centro social del Imperio bizantino. Construido por el emperador romano Septimio Severo a principios del siglo III y ampliado posteriormente por el emperador Constantino I, podía albergar a decenas de miles de espectadores. Aunque gran parte de la estructura original ya no es visible, quedan varios monumentos históricos: - **El Obelisco de Teodosio**: Un obelisco egipcio de 3.500 años de antigüedad que el emperador Teodosio I trajo a Constantinopla. - **La Columna de la Serpiente**: Originaria de Delfos, Grecia, esta columna de bronce conmemora una victoria griega sobre los persas. - **El Obelisco Amurallado**: Un obelisco de piedra menos ornamentado construido durante el reinado de Constantino VII. El Hipódromo no solo era un lugar para carreras, sino también para eventos y reuniones políticas, lo que lo convirtió en un centro clave en la vida social y política bizantina.
La Mezquita Azul, también conocida como la Mezquita del Sultán Ahmed, es uno de los monumentos más famosos de Estambul y un excelente ejemplo de la arquitectura otomana clásica. Fue construida entre 1609 y 1616 durante el reinado del Sultán Ahmed I. La mezquita está ubicada cerca de Santa Sofía, lo que crea un impresionante contraste arquitectónico entre las dos estructuras icónicas. La mezquita recibe su apodo de "Mezquita Azul" por los más de 20.000 azulejos de cerámica de İznik hechos a mano que adornan sus paredes interiores, muchos de los cuales presentan tonos azules. Estos azulejos, junto con la iluminación interior de la mezquita a través de más de 200 vidrieras, crean una atmósfera serena y luminosa. También es una importante atracción turística que atrae a visitantes de todo el mundo que vienen a admirar su impresionante arquitectura, su intrincado trabajo en azulejos y su importancia histórica. La proximidad de la mezquita a otros lugares históricos como Santa Sofía y el Palacio de Topkapi la convierte en una parte central del paisaje cultural e histórico de Estambul.
Santa Sofía es uno de los logros arquitectónicos más emblemáticos de la historia. Construida entre el 532 y el 537 d. C. bajo el emperador bizantino Justiniano I, fue el edificio más grande del mundo y una maravilla de la ingeniería de su época. La estructura tiene una historia rica y compleja. Fue una catedral ortodoxa oriental durante casi 1000 años, se convirtió en mezquita después de la conquista otomana de Constantinopla en 1453 y luego se convirtió en museo en 1935. En 2020, Santa Sofía se reconvirtió en mezquita, aunque todavía conserva su condición de monumento cultural e histórico, dando la bienvenida a personas de todo el mundo. La arquitectura de Santa Sofía combina elementos del arte y el diseño cristianos e islámicos. En su interior, presenta intrincados mosaicos, columnas de mármol y grandes paneles caligráficos agregados durante la era otomana. A pesar de los cambios en su función religiosa a lo largo de los siglos, sigue siendo un símbolo de armonía entre culturas y religiones.
La Cisterna Basílica, situada en Estambul, es un antiguo depósito subterráneo de agua construido durante el reinado del emperador bizantino Justiniano I en el siglo VI. Es famosa por su arquitectura grandiosa, de estilo catedralicio, con 336 columnas de mármol, dispuestas en 12 filas, que sostienen el techo. El espacio atmosférico, poco iluminado, tiene techos abovedados y está parcialmente lleno de agua, lo que refleja las columnas de forma hermosa. Dos de las columnas tienen cabezas de Medusa como base, lo que añade un elemento misterioso al atractivo de la cisterna.
El Gran Bazar (Kapalıçarşı en turco) es uno de los mercados cubiertos más grandes y antiguos del mundo, ubicado en Estambul, Turquía. Fundado en el siglo XV, poco después de la conquista otomana de Constantinopla, se extiende por más de 30.000 metros cuadrados y contiene más de 4.000 tiendas. El bazar es famoso por su ambiente vibrante, con un laberinto de calles y callejones llenos de puestos que venden de todo, desde alfombras y textiles hasta joyas, cerámicas y especias. Su diseño arquitectónico refleja la estética otomana, con techos abovedados, pasajes arqueados y un intrincado trabajo de azulejos. El Gran Bazar no solo es una importante atracción turística, sino también una parte vital de la vida comercial y cultural de Estambul, que ofrece una visión de la rica historia y las vibrantes tradiciones de la ciudad.
El Palacio de Topkapi fue la residencia principal y el centro administrativo de los sultanes otomanos durante casi 400 años, desde el siglo XV hasta el siglo XIX. Construido por el sultán Mehmed II después de la conquista de Constantinopla en 1453, el palacio se encuentra en un promontorio con impresionantes vistas al Bósforo y al Cuerno de Oro. Las características principales del palacio incluyen: - **La Puerta Imperial**: La gran entrada que conduce al Primer Patio. - **El Harén**: Una sección privada donde vivían la familia del sultán y sus concubinas, con habitaciones decoradas de manera intrincada. - **El Tesoro**: Alberga una colección de objetos preciosos, incluida la famosa Daga de Topkapi y el Diamante del Cucharero. - **Las Reliquias Sagradas**: Artefactos de importancia religiosa, incluidos elementos atribuidos al profeta Mahoma. El palacio es un complejo extenso de patios, pabellones y jardines, que muestra la arquitectura, el arte y la cultura otomanos. Hoy es un museo y uno de los sitios históricos más visitados de Estambul.

Savaj was truly a great guide. He was extremely patient with the elderly people in our group and was super accommodating to customize our tour based on exactly what we were hoping for. He was super insightful on history and also a pleasure to speak with on all things.
We had a fabulous tour guide for our whirlwind tour of Istanbul. Be sure to ask for Emel— she is highly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and just a delightful personality to spend the day with. She took us to a wonderful restaurant where we sampled the original cuisine of Turkey. She gave us great recommendations for what to purchase at the grand bizarre. I cannot imagine a better or more informed tour guide than EMEL. Highly recommend the tour and enthusiastically recommend her as a guide.
We were so fortunate to have Erkan Elibuyuk as our personal guide. He was affable with a deep understanding and knowledge of Turkish history. He has a degree in tour guiding that he complete at the university level. He was extremely accommodating to our physical limitations, time factors and barrage of questions concerning cultural differences specific to our curiosities in crafting our chosen sites. He made sure that we visited a site that was part of family history. What he couldn’t find on his own he called his friend to see if they might know. While waiting for a driver he brought us to another friend’s shop of incredible tiles and ceramic pieces that was more like an art gallery. There they served us tea while we rested and waited. The 4-5 hours we spent with him were invaluable to our experience in Istanbul and a highlight. Any guest to Istanbul would be well served by asking for Erkan Elibuyuk to be their guide. Nike Sage
