Hagia Sophia, officially the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, is a mosque and a major cultural and historical site in Istanbul, Turkey. It was formerly a church (360–1453) and a museum (1935–2020). The last of three church buildings to be successively erected on the site by the Eastern Roman Empire, it was completed in AD 537, becoming the world's largest interior space and among the first to employ a fully pendentive dome. It is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture".From its dedication in 360 until 1453 Hagia Sophia served as the cathedral of Constantinople in the Byzantine liturgical tradition, except for the period 1204–1261 when the Latin Crusaders installed their own hierarchy.After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, it served as a mosque, having its minarets added soon after. The site became a museum in 1935, and was redesignated as a mosque in 2020.

Istanbul very nice, but cappadocia was magical
The transport from the airport to the city, is very economical, we were oriented for the return because the arrival I took car and charged us 2,000 lire. And the train only costs 100 lire. So the difference is quite a lot. Besides, there's too much traffic. Then my recommendation is to take a train to the place where they are going to stay that leaves much cheaper and faster. I recommend the agency I went to cappadocia for are very professional. Ray took care of me and was watching me the whole time. And I always wondered how the Escurcion had gone, the agency is called Ucan travel, do not hesitate to contact the truth was the best decision I made

Graded "A+" travel tour experience
The staff are so accommodating and friendly. They will assist you of everything you needed for your tour. It was my first time in Istanbul and had to visit a friend in Mersin and planned to visit Cappadocia as well, so i did book a return ticket from Adana Airport. It was a pick season and that when i was in Istanbul there were no available flight going to Cappadocia and even buses. Someone had recommended me to them to seek a help and assistance and so everything went so smoothly. I've got a night bus trip going to cappadocea and even find me a good hotel to stay. As mentioned earlier that it was a peak season, the bus statiin was so full of travellers and got my trip delayed but they have assisted me until i was able to ride on from the bus and have assisted me all the way on my itineraries and concern during my tour.

Visiting a new country and enjoying the luxury of peace of mind
Loved Istanbul so much … Travelled to many countries , but by far Istanbul is one the best …. Mostly due to the help of Mr. MEYSUT who accompanied us in all our tours … A population of 30 million people , a good tour guide is a must … He promptness and professionalism truly stands out !
