Saint Sophia "Haghia Sophia" in het Grieks betekent "goddelijke wijsheid", is een buitengewone architecturale prestatie uit de 6e eeuw. Gebouwd door Anthémios de Tralles en Isodore de Millet, werd het ingehuldigd door Justinien en zijn vrouw Théodora (537). Dit Byzantijnse meesterwerk heeft prachtige mozaïeken met een gouden achtergrond en gekleurd marmer. Justinianus voor de bouw van de koepel had stenen van de aarde van Rhodos zo licht besteld dat twaalf van hen niet meer dan een gewone steen wogen, ze droegen de volgende inscriptie: "Het is God die gegrond, God zal hem helpen. " De Ottomanen hadden het in een moskee veranderd, toen werd het in 1935 een museum.
De Blauwe Moskee (1609-1616) is een van de beroemdste moskeeën ter wereld met zes minaretten, het dankt zijn naam aan de keramische tegels (ongeveer 20.000) uit Iznik (Nicea), overwegend blauw die langs de binnenmuren lopen. .
Het paleis van TOPKAPI heeft 4 verschillende binnenplaatsen, het vestigde zich op 70ha vóór de aanleg van het spoorwegnet en was de residentie van de sultans tot de 19e eeuw. Gedurende 4 eeuwen was het het administratieve centrum van het Ottomaanse rijk. Het paleis huisvestte het hoofdkwartier van DIVAN, het belangrijkste orgaan van macht. De enorme keuken voedde tussen de 4 en 5000 mensen per dag. Tegenwoordig is er in de keuken een verzameling Chinees en Japans porselein. Zijn beroemde schat, met de 86-karaats "kasikçi" diamant, de gouden kroonluchters versierd met diamanten, de tronen van de sultan zijn getuigen van de rijke geschiedenis van het rijk. Op de 3e binnenplaats van het paleis bevindt zich de relikwieën van de profeet Mohammed, het is een heilige plaats voor moslims. De kiosken op de 4e binnenplaats maken deze architecturale schoonheid van het paleis compleet. Op deze terrassen heb je een adembenemend uitzicht op de Gouden Hoorn en de Bosporus.
Een waterreservoir uit de zesde eeuw met 336 kolommen en een volume van 90.000 m³.
De hippodroom van het Byzantijnse Rijk door Constantijn de Grote, de obelisk, de slangenzuil

A big THANK YOU to Mustafa who helped us discover Istanbul and Cappadocia. Passionate, fascinating guide who listens to both young and old! He knew how to captivate the children, the teenagers, the whole family. Thanks to him, we went off the beaten path. You can book with your eyes closed with Mustafa, you can only be won over! Thanks again to Mustafa who will remain etched in our hearts!
We were lucky to be accompanied by Mustafa throughout our stay, both in Istanbul and in Cappadocia, and that truly made all the difference. Passionate about his country, he shares his knowledge with remarkable ease and makes every visit captivating. His explanations are always clear, lively, and enriched with fascinating anecdotes that allow you to discover Turkey from a different perspective. Always attentive to the group, available, and kind, he takes the time to answer all questions and adapts his pace so that everyone fully enjoys the visits. You can feel that he perfectly masters the history, culture, and traditions of the country, while remaining accessible and pleasant to listen to. Thanks to him, we didn't just visit magnificent places: we truly understood their history and their importance. His professionalism, good humor, and enthusiasm largely contributed to the success of our trip. A huge thank you to Mustafa for this unforgettable experience. He is without a doubt one of the best guides we have ever had. If you are lucky enough to be accompanied by him, you can go for it with your eyes closed.
We were in Turkey with my whole family and thanks to Mustafa, we had an incredible stay thanks to his great historical culture and his knowledge. He knows everyone and allowed us to visit places off the beaten path. He is also very attentive to what everyone likes and dislikes in order to adjust the visits every day. We also noticed the great respect the other guides have for him. He is a benchmark.
We highly recommend this guide, simply wonderful
Merci beaucoup A Bientôt
We went to Cappadocia as a family for 6 days with Mustapha! It is a rewarding and unforgettable experience! We loved the program designed by Mustapha, everything was successful! A big thank you to him for a wonderful stay! Cecile , David , Lucien & Gaspard
Thank you very much to Mustafa for these two days of visiting the must-sees and behind the scenes of the Grand Bazaar! A passionate and exciting guide who shares his knowledge with great enthusiasm. His humor and good humor made the experience even more enjoyable and authentic. A rich, lively and unforgettable visit, which we highly recommend!
Our week in Istanbul would not have been so rich in discoveries without Mustafa's company. This guide is passionate and makes the tours very interesting and enjoyable. I had selected places I wanted to see. There were both the main tourist sites and less popular neighborhoods. Mustafa has concocted a beautiful tour route with incredible places that would have been inaccessible to us without his company. Many thanks to Mustapha. A nice meeting I highly recommend. It is very likely that we will return to Turkey in a while and why not discover Cappadocia with Mustafa of course.
Our extended weekend in Istambul would have been so poor without the company of this Mustapha guide. Mustapha is passionate and makes visits very interesting and very pleasant. Mustapha after suggesting tours that we could have arranged as we liked, accompanied us for two days and introduced us to the usual cultural places and also incredible places that would have been inaccessible to us without his company. Many thanks because without you Mustapha we would have missed so much culturally, intellectually and tastefully. Nice meeting I highly recommend
Back from SRI LANKA and MALDIVES we stopped for 3 nights and 2 days in Istamboul. We were 4 and we spent these 2 days on the old town with Mustapha. Its strengths: punctuality, availability, listening to its customers, adapting to the pace of customers, speaking perfect French and very in-depth knowledge of the history and culture of its country. Besides, in the big bazaar, he avoided tourist routes to take us to the "local part" and show us "real life". If you can, for the cruise on the Bosphorus I recommend the option "private boat" which in addition to the longer duration (+/- 1 hour) also allows to take full advantage of the knowledge of Mustapha. This guide has passionate us to the point that we will go again to Istamboul and certainly then to Cappadocia and we will use his services at that time. I recommend you 200%!!!
Thank you to Mustafa for introducing me to the wonders of Istanbul. I learned a lot about their story thanks to his very clear explanations! I had a great day with him and I can only recommend his services!
Merci à vous . C'était un grand plaisir de vous guider dans l'ancienne ville . A la prochaine .
