ISTANBUL
There may be no city on earth quite as beautiful – join your expert guide on a tour you’ll remember always…. Marvel at the jewel encrusted treasures of Topkapi, tributes paid to the sultans for safe passage east and west, the Emperor Justinian’s Hagia Sophia covered in glorious mosaics, the Blue Mosque, the Byzantine Hippodrome (the bronze snake statue was a monument set up at Platea to celebrate the Greek victory over the Persians; it’s traveled from Persia to Greece to Rome to here…). You’ll end the day exploring the fabled Grand Bazaar – under this roof, one can find anything from linens to gold…. Watch the sun set over the Bosphorus, you’ll sleep here tonight.

After breakfast, we’ll leave from the hotel and explore the famous Spice Bazar before we embark on a boat and enjoy a leisurely Cruise on the Bosphorus. Cruising on this “ Golden Horn”, the splendid marble palaces, ottoman- era wooden villas and modern residences lining both shores speak of the pivotal role this city has played in world events for centuries. One last night, one more glorious sunset.
