Byzantine and Ottoman Monuments Tour (Full Day)
Duration 8 Hour
After picking you up from your hotel (in city center hotels), we will start our tour. We will take a bus tour of the Golden Horn and then ascend to Pierre Loti Hill by cable car to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Golden Horn. After that, we will take a boat tour of the Bosphorus...
Golden Horn (by bus) - A beautiful and safe harbor, the Golden Horn has played an important role in the development of Istanbul.
Cable Car and Pierre Loti Hill - The hill was chosen by Pierre Loti, the French author of the famous novel "Aziyade." It is said that the name of the Osmanlı woman, who fell in love with Pierre in Aziyade, inspired the hill's name, which was given in honor of Pierre Loti due to his support for the Ottoman Empire.
Boat Tour of the Bosphorus - An incredible journey along the Bosphorus between two continents, Europe and Asia, with views of Dolmabahçe Palace and Beylerbeyi Palace.
Rumeli Hisarı (from the sea) - The fortress was built by Mehmed II to prevent communication between the Byzantine fleet controlling the Bosphorus and its northern allies.
At the end of the tour, we will drop you back at your hotel.
