Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Hagia Sophia it's absolutely mind blowing. Marvelous. Personally, the best attraction we visited in Istanbul.
The Grand Bazaar was one of the reasons we went to Istanbul although for rather an unusual reason – my two boys were fascinated by the fact that both Sky Fall and Taken 2 were filmed either motorbiking or running over the roof and the fact that their Assassin's Creed game was partly set in the Bazaar!
It was a new experience to see Asia/persia/.. as the center and start of culture. Great exposition. The sarcofage section is a must see.
Hagia Sophia was probably the best sight on our trip. I really enjoyed walking round, We didnt have a tour guide, just a book we were reading through, that was more than enough. Its sheer size is hard to take in. Definitely enjoyed being free to walk around and soak everything in rather than have a guide on this one.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day and have no hesitation recommending anyone visiting this incredible city. Thanks
Hagia Sophia fantastic old building currently undergoing major renovation work so many of the paintings etc undercover, good idea to buy the 72 hour museum pass as you can then. Jump the queue.
Hagia Sophia is truly superb and well worth visiting. Unfortunately for us, our visit coincided with major renovation works inside with scaffolding obscuring a large area. The mosaics are amazing!
el tour privado de medio dia es ideal para las personas que no tienen mucho tiempo o por que el crusero es de medio dia en kusadasi pero la verdad es suficiente para ver efeso la casa de la virgen maria y ademas recorrer un poco el centro de la ciudad lo recomiendo de todo corazon ya que vale la pena y no es caro
pensado pasar al menos medio día en este sitio. Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar las ruinas con un guía turístico para apreciar todo lo que ver y experimentar (organizar a alquilar un guía mientras estás en Kusadasi si no estás con un grupo de tour ya). Hay tanta información sobre las diversas ruinas no se puede aprender si no tienes a alguien para explicar a usted. Cleopatra caminaron por estas calles. Juan el Bautista fue encarcelado aquí. Aprender cómo sus métodos de construcción. ver la estatua de la diosa Nike donde el logotipo Nike proviene de. Recomendaría gastar $ extra para ver la sección cerrada dentro de las ruinas compuestos para más información y vistas de las antiguas casas. Una experiencia maravillosa en general pero mucho caminar y empinadas rampas para cualquiera con problemas de movilidad.
Fuimos en diciembre que supuestamente es uno de los meses de temporada baja debido al clima frío, y era bastante bloody frío con luz llovizna, pero porque estaba justo después de Navidad, el lugar estaba bastante lleno. No me puedo imaginar lo que es durante la temporada alta. Pero si tienes paciencia suficiente, es posible que puedes conseguir fotos de un lugar quieres simplemente por ti mismo.Si tienes paciencia, puede tomar un gran cuadro o dos de la hermosa Celsus Biblioteca dentro de esta antigua ciudad gratis, o casi gratis, de otros viajeros o turistas, pero tienes que ser paciente. Quizás esto es imposible durante la temporada de verano jaja …
Tras la Celsus Biblioteca, podrá caminar a lo largo de la calle de mármol y encontrará algún tipo de construcción/sitio de extracción a la derecha. parece prohibido entrar, obviamente, por razones de seguridad, pero he visto un par de turistas entrar a escondidas y tomar el camino bastante empinada esta estructura prohibida y estoy seguro la vista desde allí es bastante increíble. Si intenta valiente, que no oír desde aquí …
Fui con mis parientes aquí y, como algunos de ellos no son muy aficionados a la historia y están más interesados en los espectaculares paisajes naturales, Éfeso es algo interesante, pero no está tan bien como otras atracciones en Turquía para ellos. la verdad vale a cien porciento todo centavo pagado
