I loved the Blue mosque, with all the islamic calligraphy and very detailed artistic work all over. It is the only mosque with 6 minarets in Turkey or maybe just in Istanbul; not sure. It is always very crowded, some other mosques are less crowded and quite as beautiful. Fatih Camii is AMAZING especially at sunset.
The Grand Bazaar is one of the site-seeing spot in our tour. You can totally see & feel the history & culture of this place as soon as you walk in. There are thousands of shops in the Grand Bazaar, it’ll take a day to walk through all the shops.
For me and my husband it is very important to discover a city. To enjoy it in the best way, in Istanbul we choose a full day tour.
And to tell You about the last, and one of the most considerable monument and masterpiece of hands and minds of Turkish architects,engineers and workers, that is the famous Sultan Ahmet Camii or Sultan Ahmet Mosque,also among the turists and everyday people known as Blue Mosque.
Thank you to Taylan, who arranged a great tour of Topkapi Palace for two! Knowledgable, friendly, charming and not afraid to leave regular talking points behind and engage in great conversation while seeing the sites. Highly recommended!
The Topkapi Palace is a must-see on a visit to Istanbul, though it has been pretty crowded both times I have visited.
We enjoyed the Topkapi Palace, there are many amazing tiles adorning all of the rooms. The harem is a must see and will complete your visit.
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
There is no way you can come to Istanbul and not visit Sultan Ahmet Mosque! There is really no way to describe the beauty of this icon it simply must be seen to be fully appreciated. If you are able to I would recommend to go when you can hear the hoca's call to prayer.
If you are in Istanbul, you have to see Topkapi Palace. I have not had time to get around all the rooms but visited the treasury and rooms of shrines. Although that I was tired, I really enjoyed
