Stepping into this square feels like traveling back in time to an era when Istanbul was known as Constantinople, the heart of the Roman Empire. If you close your eyes, you can almost hear the hooves of horses racing across the track centuries ago, accompanied by the cheers and excitement of the spectators.
Walking through this ancient site, which has stood for over 1,800 years, and witnessing its historic columns and relics is a truly unforgettable and remarkable experience.
Who could visit the City of Mosques and not see its most famous and magnificent one? The Blue Mosque, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture with over 400 years of history, stands as one of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks. The construction of this mosque took 7 years, and today, with its beautiful domes and soaring minarets, it continues to captivate visitors and leave them in awe.
When you enter Hagia Sophia, you may be stepping into the only place of worship that has served as an Eastern Orthodox Cathedral, a Roman Catholic Cathedral, an Ottoman Mosque, a museum, and once again a mosque. A place of worship that is respected by both Muslims and Christians alike. This remarkable structure is a legacy of the Eastern Roman Empire and a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture.
If you’re fascinated by ancient myths and legendary, mysterious places, a visit to this nearly 1,500-year-old cistern is an experience you won’t want to miss. The sight of the Medusa columns and the legends surrounding them, the coolness of the cistern even on the hottest days, and the presence of both small and large fish swimming beneath the earth all contribute to making this site a truly unique and captivating tourist attraction.
In addition to visiting the historic and beautiful sites around Sultanahmet Square, a stroll through its old market is also highly recommended. It’s a place where you can purchase handcrafted goods and charming souvenirs infused with the rich art and culture of Turkey, taking a piece of this beautiful region home with you as a cherished keepsake.
Visiting one of Istanbul’s most famous castles, located away from the city and near the Bosphorus Strait, makes this one-day tour truly unique. This magnificent fortress, which is hard to believe was built in just 4 months, offers a breathtaking experience. Climbing the ancient stairs and enjoying the Bosphorus view from the top feels like looking at a beautiful painting. A stone fortress surrounded by lush greenery and offering stunning views of the Bosphorus Strait, this site will leave you with some of the most beautiful photographs of your trip.
Visiting the Marmara Mosque, nearly two centuries old and located on one of the most beautiful shores of the Bosphorus Strait, is a perfect fusion of history and nature’s beauty. The mosque offers not only architectural splendor but also a peaceful setting with stunning views of the Bosphorus, making it a unique and memorable experience.
