Overview of your Istanbul tour:

The combination of both Byzantian (Eastern Roman) and Ottoman heritage will give you all the historic ambiance to breathe the city. Feel the victory and disappointment of the gladiators while walking through Hippodrome. Discover the fascinating construction of St. Sophia to explore its stories with the stunning mosaics. Then visit the Underground Cistern where Medusa will whisper her secret; this is also the palace where the movie ''Inferno '' (-The Hell- written by Dan Brown) was ended up. After experiencing the Byzantian heritage, next will be Ottoman. Visit the royal palace of the Ottoman Empire with its amazing collections. Visit the famous Blue Mosque with its 21. 043 pieces of 17th century Iznik tiles. End up the day at the Grand Bazaar with its 22 entrances, 65 ally, and 3700 shops. If you have the passion to explore the sites with a history lover, this is gonna be a fantastic stop during your sailing over the oceans.
