Umit O.
Hi there ! My name is ''Umit''. I studied British Literature & ELT at the University of Istanbul....
Itinerary not perfect? Message Umit O. to build a tour that’s just right for you.
This tour will enhance your point of view of Ottomans vs Byzantines. It's not only a tour from the past but also an outlook on the future. We will walk through Hippodrome where Romans used to organize chariot races and gladiators' fights with its remaining Egyptian Obelisk, Serpentine Column, Constantine Column and German Fountain. Visit the famous Sultanahmet Mosque, built in 1616, also known as Blue Mosque due to its magnificent interior decoration of 17th-century royal Iznik tiles. Face the highlight of the earth, St. Sophia, which is my beauty in the world built in 537 A. D. - unlike any other construction in the globe-. See Topkapi Palace built in 1478 where the great empire was ruled and housed the royal family with its fantastic treasures. See Underground Cistern built in 532 A. D. where Dan Brown's book ''INFERNO '' ended up. Finalize the day at the famous Grand (Covered) Bazaar built in 1461 with its 22 entrances, 65 alleys and 3700 shops. Let me show you Istanbul through my loving eyes.
