Ghost City Istanbul Walking Tour
Beskrivning
Under de soldränkta gatorna och den fantastiska arkitekturen ligger en mörkare sida av Istanbul. Gå ner djupt under Istanbuls centrum till en parallell stad, en stad som är mer än 1500 år gammal. Denna makabra plats, som sträcker sig över ett enormt område med före detta stenbrott och består av en intrikat serie tunnlar, är en av de mest fascinerande platserna du kommer att besöka under din vistelse i Istanbul. Utforska den okända sidan av denna gigantiska stad. Denna mystiska syn, som lurar nedanför stadens antika boulevarder, offentliga trädgårdar och museer, har blivit en av Istanbuls turistattraktioner som du inte får missa. Titta på när dessa ryggradsfrysande lämningar väcks till liv framför dina ögon, när din expertguide återkallar berättelserna om ett försvunnit Konstantinopel och en strålande förgången tid önskar att vi minns igen.

Resplan
Ormpelaren (forngrekiska: Τrikarenos Οphis "Trehövdad orm"), även känd som Serpentine Column, Plataean Tripod eller Delphi Tripod, är en gammal bronspelare vid Hippodromen i Konstantinopel i Istanbul, Turkiet.
Upptäck Istanbuls gömda pärla med ett besök på Theodosius-cisternen! Theodosius-cisternen ligger inbäddat under de livliga gatorna i denna historiska stad och erbjuder en hisnande inblick i det förflutna. Förundras över den fantastiska bysantinska arkitekturen, med sina elegant välvda pelare och fridfulla pooler som speglar det invecklade stenverket. Detta underjordiska underverk, mindre trångt än den berömda Basilica Cistern, ger en intim och imponerande upplevelse. Oavsett om du är en historiaentusiast eller en nyfiken resenär, utlovar Theodosius-cisternen ett unikt äventyr i Istanbuls rika arv. Missa inte chansen att utforska denna fängslande underjordiska värld!
Çemberlitaş-kolonnen, även känd som den brända kolonnen eller Konstantins kolonn, byggdes 330 för att hedra kejsar Konstantin I.
Nyligen renoverad vackraste underjordiska cistern. Kliv in i den förtrollande världen av Basilica Cistern, en av Istanbuls mest fascinerande skatter! Beläget bara ett stenkast från den ikoniska Hagia Sofia, är denna gamla underjordiska vattenreservoar ett bevis på bysantinsk ingenjörskonst när den är som bäst. Vandra genom det svagt upplysta, atmosfäriska utrymmet, där 336 marmorpelare reser sig majestätiskt från vattnet och skapar en surrealistisk och magisk atmosfär.
Även om det en gång användes som ett akvarium (vilket delvis står för dess nuvarande konfiguration), är det nu öppet för allmänheten.

The visit went very well. Everything was explained very well without being too complicated. This tour really lets you discover a hidden side of istanbul, including historical details that are still visible today. A big thank you to Rose, our guide, who led this tour brilliantly! Going around with her is like visiting with friends. Her knowledge of history, thanks to her studies, was a great plus. The icing on the cake: the list of restaurants she recommended to us. Thanks to her for this great visit!
Underground musuem and columns are amazingly beautiful. It’s mind-blowing to know that it’s so old. Suddenly you feel like you’re in another universe.
Rose was incredibly lovely and enthusiastic as she took us through the history of Istanbul from some of its most significant landmarks. Her stories are engaging and thought-provoking, drawing connections between different eras and cultures. I learned so many things I never knew before like the connection between the Medusa and the Evil Eye, or the myth of Turkey's own queen of snakes. Highly recommend both this tour and the tour guide!!

We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Rose, and she was incredible from start to finish! 🌟 She’s not only extremely knowledgeable, but also has such a warm and engaging way of sharing information. Rose took the time to explain everything in detail, answering questions with patience and enthusiasm. I learned so much thanks to her, and she made the experience both fun and fascinating. Her passion for what she does truly shines through, and it made all the difference. I would 100% recommend Rose as a guide—you won’t just see the sights, you’ll come away with a much deeper appreciation and understanding.
It’s a very cool historical walking tour… We learned a lot about the real Constantinople versus the size at Istanbul is today… The sisters are absolutely amazing
As a Canadian tourist, what absolutely blew me away was how your guide could weave together the intricate stories of emperors, sultans, and architects across centuries! Standing in the Basilica Cistern and hearing about the Medusa heads - how they were placed upside down, that level of detail was incredible. Our guide's knowledge of the stories of places intrigue made me feel like I was walking through a living novel. The way she explained the architectural genius behind the Hagia Sophia's massive dome - how it seemed to float without visible support and influenced mosque design for centuries - was absolutely captivating. And learning about the secret meanings behind the Iznik tiles' patterns in the Blue Mosque, each color and design telling a story, showed such deep cultural understanding.
Istanbul is breathtaking but underground is another world. We enjoyed every second with Rose. This city is more than what it seems, every corner has a different story and sightseeing surprise. This whole city is like an open air museum itself.
Underground of Istanbul is something I have never experienced before. You can find a medusa underneath Hagia Sophia, really amazing
