Description

I believe that you should learn about history of the city/destination you visited first. That's why we start from the Archeology museum. Then, it is very important to visit first gigantic size of building which has priority in the Christian world, the Hagia Sophia. Because we shouldn't forget that it was the first Patriarchate of Ortodoks Church and it was built to be compared with Temple of Suleiman/Solomon. Then respectively we will visit the Blue mosque which one is famous for it's tiles and Topkapi Palace where the Ottoman Sultans managed the empire along 400 years; and also Cistern basilica which is from the pagan times. After this daily walking tour, you will feel like a time traveler. Because this trip will start from the 20th century BC and end on the 20th century AC.
