Itinerário
O Hipódromo de Constantinopla, agora conhecido como Praça Sultanahmet em Istambul, era um antigo estádio de corrida de bigas e um importante centro social do Império Bizantino. Construído pelo Imperador Romano Septímio Severo no início do século III e posteriormente expandido pelo Imperador Constantino I, ele podia acomodar dezenas de milhares de espectadores. Embora grande parte da estrutura original não seja mais visível, vários monumentos históricos permanecem: - **Obelisco de Teodósio**: Um obelisco egípcio de 3.500 anos trazido a Constantinopla pelo Imperador Teodósio I. - **A Coluna da Serpente**: Originalmente de Delfos, Grécia, esta coluna de bronze comemora uma vitória grega sobre os persas. - **Obelisco Murado**: Um obelisco de pedra menos ornamentado construído durante o reinado de Constantino VII. O Hipódromo não era apenas um lugar para corridas, mas também para eventos e reuniões políticas, tornando-o um centro importante na vida social e política bizantina.
A Mesquita Azul, também conhecida como Mesquita do Sultão Ahmed, é um dos marcos mais famosos de Istambul e um excelente exemplo da arquitetura otomana clássica. Foi construída entre 1609 e 1616 durante o reinado do Sultão Ahmed I. A mesquita está localizada perto de Hagia Sophia, criando um contraste arquitetônico impressionante entre as duas estruturas icônicas. A mesquita recebe o apelido de "Mesquita Azul" devido aos mais de 20.000 azulejos de cerâmica İznik feitos à mão que adornam suas paredes internas, muitos dos quais apresentam tons de azul. Esses azulejos, juntamente com a iluminação interna da mesquita de mais de 200 vitrais, criam uma atmosfera serena e luminosa. Também é uma grande atração turística, atraindo visitantes do mundo todo que vêm admirar sua arquitetura impressionante, intrincados trabalhos em azulejos e significado histórico. A proximidade da mesquita com outros locais históricos como Hagia Sophia e o Palácio Topkapi a torna uma parte central da paisagem cultural e histórica de Istambul.
Hagia Sophia é uma das realizações arquitetônicas mais icônicas da história. Construída entre 532 e 537 d.C. sob o imperador bizantino Justiniano I, foi o maior edifício do mundo e uma maravilha da engenharia de sua época. A estrutura tem uma história rica e em camadas. Foi uma catedral ortodoxa oriental por quase 1.000 anos, convertida em mesquita após a conquista otomana de Constantinopla em 1453 e depois transformada em museu em 1935. Em 2020, Hagia Sophia foi reconvertida em mesquita, embora ainda mantenha seu status de monumento cultural e histórico, recebendo pessoas de todo o mundo. A arquitetura de Hagia Sophia combina elementos da arte e do design cristão e islâmico. No interior, apresenta mosaicos intrincados, pilares de mármore e grandes painéis caligráficos adicionados durante a era otomana. Apesar das mudanças em sua função religiosa ao longo dos séculos, continua sendo um símbolo de harmonia entre culturas e religiões.
A Cisterna da Basílica, localizada em Istambul, é uma antiga instalação subterrânea de armazenamento de água construída durante o reinado do imperador bizantino Justiniano I no século VI. É famosa por sua arquitetura grandiosa, semelhante a uma catedral, com 336 colunas de mármore, dispostas em 12 fileiras, que sustentam o teto. O espaço atmosférico e mal iluminado tem tetos abobadados e é parcialmente preenchido com água, refletindo as colunas lindamente. Duas das colunas apresentam cabeças de Medusa como suas bases, adicionando um elemento misterioso ao fascínio da cisterna.
O Grande Bazar (Kapalıçarşı em turco) é um dos maiores e mais antigos mercados cobertos do mundo, localizado em Istambul, Turquia. Estabelecido no século XV, logo após a conquista otomana de Constantinopla, ele abrange mais de 30.000 metros quadrados e contém mais de 4.000 lojas. O bazar é famoso por sua atmosfera vibrante, com um labirinto de ruas e becos alinhados com barracas que vendem de tudo, de tapetes e tecidos a joias, cerâmicas e especiarias. Seu design arquitetônico reflete a estética otomana, apresentando telhados abobadados, passagens em arco e intrincados trabalhos em azulejos. O Grande Bazar não é apenas uma grande atração turística, mas também uma parte vital da vida comercial e cultural de Istambul, oferecendo um vislumbre da rica história e das tradições vibrantes da cidade.
O Palácio de Topkapi foi a residência principal e centro administrativo dos sultões otomanos por quase 400 anos, do século XV ao XIX. Construído pelo sultão Mehmed II após a conquista de Constantinopla em 1453, o palácio fica em um promontório com vistas deslumbrantes do Bósforo e do Corno de Ouro. As principais características do palácio incluem: - **O Portão Imperial**: A grande entrada que leva ao Primeiro Pátio. - **O Harém**: Uma seção privada onde a família do sultão e as concubinas viviam, com quartos decorados de forma intrincada. - **O Tesouro**: Abriga uma coleção de itens preciosos, incluindo a famosa Adaga de Topkapi e o Diamante do Fabricante de Colheres. - **As Relíquias Sagradas**: Artefatos de significado religioso, incluindo itens atribuídos ao Profeta Muhammad. O palácio é um amplo complexo de pátios, pavilhões e jardins, exibindo arquitetura, arte e cultura otomanas. Hoje, é um museu e um dos locais históricos mais visitados de Istambul.

Savaş was one of the most professional guides I have met! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, so funny, and deeply respectful. He looked after us so well and took amazing photos of our day. The hours just flew by because we were having the best time. We truly loved our day with him! Thank you Savaş
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
