Byzantine and Ottoman Monuments Tour (Full Day)
Duration 8 Hour
We will pick you up from your hotels (hotels in the city center) and start our tour.
Golden Horn (by bus): The beautiful and safe harbor of the Golden Horn has played an important role in the development of Istanbul.
Spice Bazaar (Egyptian Bazaar); The atmosphere here is filled with the enticing aromas of cinnamon, cumin, saffron, mint, oregano, and other spices and herbs you can think of.
Bosporus Cruise: We embark on an incredible journey along the Bosporus, between the two continents, Europe and Asia, passing by the Dolmabahçe Palace and the Beylerbeyi Palace.
Rumeli Fortress (from the sea): The fortress was built by Mehmed II to prevent the Byzantine fleet's northern allies from communicating with each other in order to control the Bosporus.
We reach Çamlıca Hill, which will present you the fascinating views of Istanbul, the Sea of Marmara, and the Islands as we cross the Bosphorus Bridge, once the longest suspension bridge in the world and still the pearl of Istanbul.
Beylerbeyi Palace: Enjoy a delightful journey over the Bosphorus Bridge to the Asian side of Istanbul. The palace, with its magnificent gardens and breathtaking grandeur, was the famous summer house of the Ottoman Sultans. The Beylerbeyi Palace, located along the beautiful shores of the Bosporus, is a perfect example of late Ottoman architecture.
