Itinerary

Day 1

Begin your day in the heart of Istanbul’s Old City, surrounded by the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Your guide will introduce the historical significance of this ancient square.

Step into the atmospheric underground world of the Basilica Cistern, an awe-inspiring Roman-era water reservoir with marble columns, vaulted ceilings, and the famous Medusa heads.

Discover the colorful and artistic side of Istanbul as you stroll through the historical Jewish and Greek quarters. Admire the vibrant houses, steep cobbled streets, and charming cafes.

Ride the cable car (or enjoy a scenic drive) up to Pierre Loti Hill, named after the French novelist who loved this spot. Take in the breathtaking views over the Golden Horn while sipping Turkish tea.

Wander through one of the world’s oldest and largest covered markets. With over 4,000 shops, this is the perfect place to find souvenirs, carpets, jewelry, and local handicrafts.

Let your senses come alive with the aroma of exotic spices, dried fruits, sweets, and teas in this bustling market, located near the Galata Bridge.

End your day with a relaxing cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. Admire Istanbul from the water, with unforgettable views of palaces, mosques, fortresses, and the unique skyline where Europe meets Asia.
