The old town was the capital of 3 empires. History starts with the Byzantine Kingdom, then goes with Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire and Ottoman Empire. We call this area as historical peninsula or Sultanahmet Square is modern name. It is always the best to start to explore the city from here. You will see amazing architectures in our walking tour. All those places are listed in UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1985 and the highlights of Istanbul. Hagia Sophia is always the most wondered one with it's 1500 years of architecture. Amazing mosaics and frescoes in the structure are beautiful examples of Byzantine art. We are so proud of having an extraordinary underground structure Basilica cistern. It was served as a huge water deposit on 9800 m2 in land. One of the symbols of the city Egyptian Obelisk is among the highlights for sure and located in the center of Roman Hippodrom. You will take amazing photos of it. Strolling in the old town and seeing the remainings of 3 empires would be unique experience.
