Day 2 Istanbul
Breakfast. Departure for the "Classic" tour: we will start by visiting the Hagia Sophia Basilica (now a mosque) "Divine Wisdom", undoubtedly one of the most fabulous buildings of all time. Built by Constantine the Great and rebuilt by Justinian in the 6th century, its immense dome rises 55 meters from the ground, with a diameter of 31 meters. During the Ottoman Empire, it was transformed into a mosque, and minarets were eventually added.
We continue with a visit to the ancient Byzantine Hippodrome, which was the center of the country's civil activity, where not only horse races and gladiator fights were held, but also celebrations in honor of the emperor. Today it preserves the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpentine Column, and the Fountain of Emperor Wilhelm. The Blue Mosque was built in 1609 by Sultan Ahmet, who wanted to surpass the Hagia Sophia Basilica with his mosque and built it with 6 minarets. Free lunch and rest of the afternoon at leisure.
There is the possibility to take an excursion (optional, at an additional cost) to the Topkapi Palace, the Basilica Cistern of Yerebatan, and the Grand Bazaar. Free return to the hotel, free dinner, and overnight stay.
