The first thing that welcomes us here is the Byzantine Hippodrome, which is known to have hosted bloody events, various meetings and lion fights throughout history. After seeing the Obelisk, the Egyptian Obelisk and the Serpent Column in the Hippodrome area, we will visit the German Fountain under the famous plane tree where the opponents of the künkar, known as Vakvakiye in history, were executed by hanging.

Immediately afterwards, we will visit the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, known for its uniquely beautiful blue tiles, built with six minarets despite Sultan Ahmet I’s request for a golden dome and neighboring Hagia Sophia for more than 400 years.

After having lunch at our restaurant where you can choose Ottoman cuisine or fast food,

We visit Hagia Sophia, which means “sacred wisdom”, which has been the largest structure in the world after the Egyptian pyramids for a thousand years, and has survived dozens of earthquakes and hundreds of invasions. The peace you will feel while inside and the mystery it awakens in you are emotions you must experience.

As the last stop of the day, we visit the Egyptian Bazaar, where the whole world is at our fingertips, where hundreds of spices and local foods coexist, accompanied by the scents of cinnamon and thyme, and we do our shopping.
