Day 1 – The Heart of the Historic Peninsula (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapı, Grand Bazaar)

Your journey begins with a pick-up from your hotel. The first stop is the magnificent Hagia Sophia, with its breathtaking architecture. Immediately after, we proceed to the Blue Mosque, famous for its iconic blue tiles and one of Istanbul's most iconic landmarks.

We step into the Topkapı Palace, the heart of the empire for nearly 400 years, wander through its gardens, and enter the opulent rooms of the Harem. After seeing the ancient monuments in the Hippodrome (Egyptian Obelisk, Serpentine Column), the center of Byzantine life, we head to the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest covered markets in the world. Getting lost among the carpets, jewelry, and spices is encouraged!

Day 2 – Bosphorus, Palaces, and Modern Istanbul (Spice Bazaar, Bosphorus Cruise, Dolmabahçe, Istiklal)

If you opt for the 2-day option, your second day begins at the historic Spice Bazaar, where the scent of herbs and Turkish delight fills the air. Then, you'll enjoy a relaxing boat cruise along the Bosphorus, the natural border between Europe and Asia.

Afterward, we visit the magnificent Dolmabahçe Palace, where the last Ottoman sultans lived. This palace is an incredible structure that combines Ottoman tradition with European grandeur. You finish your tour on the vibrant Istiklal Avenue and Taksim Square, seeing the modern face of the city.
