Istanbul - Arrival
Your guide meets you at Istanbul Airport and transfers you to your hotel in the city. The rest of the evening is free to settle in and take in the first impressions of this ancient city where Europe and Asia meet.
Istanbul - Sultanahmet & Bosphorus
A guided tour covers the Hippodrome, Sultanahmet Square, the magnificent Hagia Sophia complex (completed 537 AD), Topkapi Palace, the seat of the Ottoman Empire for four centuries, and the Egyptian Market with its spices and textiles. A Bosphorus Cruise in the afternoon offers panoramic views of Ottoman palaces and waterfront mansions as Europe and Asia face each other across shimmering water.
