It was the largest  cathedral in the world for nearly a  thousand years.  Next  we  visit  the  Blue  Mosque,  so  called because  of  the  magnificent  blue  Iznik  tiles  that  decorate  the  interior.  Called  Sultan  Ahmet  Camii when  it was built  (1609-1616), it is  the  only mosque  with  six  minarets.  The  ancient  Hippodrome,  where  chariot  races  and sporting events were held, has  four  notable monuments:  the  German  Fountain  of  Wilhelm II ,  the Obelisk  of  Theodosus , the  bronze  Serpentine  Column and  the  Column  of  Constantine.  Topkapı  Palace, residence  of  the  Ottoman  sultans  from the 15th  to  the  19th  century .  Important  collections  include  the  armoury,  where  the  jewel  encrusted  Topkapı  dagger can  be  seen,  the  Spoonmakers  Diamond,  miniatures  and  manuscripts,  fıne  porcelains,  sacred  objects  and  the  Sultan's  wardrobe  with  its  wonderful  ceremonial  and  informal  costumes. 

 

 Lunch  at  a  nice  local  restaurant   that  serves  delicious  Anatolian  meals.

 

Suleymaniye  Mosque crowns  one  of  the  seven  hills  dominating  the  Golden  Horn  and  provides  a  magnificent  landmark  for  the  entire  city .

 

Overnight  in  Istanbul .

 

 

 Day 3 -  Antalya  B )

 

We take you to the airport for an early flight  to  Antalya, where we meet you, barely two hours later,  and take you to your hotel.  After you have checked in, you have the rest of the day free to explore. You could start with a swim in the clear blue sea, followed by a visit  to  the  excellent  little  museum, and in the evening why not go to  the old town and watch the sun set behind the mountains while you sip cocktails in a bar perched high on the ancient city walls.

 

Day 4 - Antalya: Aspendos,  Perge  &  Side  B / L )

 

After  breakfast  we  will  pick  you  up  from  your  hotel  and  a  full  day  guided  tour  will  start.

Perge , one of the most beautiful and richest cities of the ancient world, famous for its temple of Artemis. The acropolis dates back to the Bronze Age. Alexander the Great visited the city in 333BC during his war against the Persians.

Kursunlu  Waterfall,  surrounded by giant pine trees, is  a lovely place to  relax  in the heat of the day.

Aspendos  Like Perge and Side, this ancient city was  founded around 1,000BC and continued to be inhabited for some 2,000 years. It is famous for having the best preserved amphitheatre in the world, more than 300 feet in diameter, with seating for 7,000 people. 

Side , one  of  the  best-known  ancient  sites  in  Turkey  and a popular holiday resort,  is located on a peninsula with wonderful sea views. A great wall and moat separate it from the mainland. 

 

At  the  end  of  the  tour we take you back to  your  hotel  in  Antalya for the night.

 

Day 5 :  Antalya  (  B  )

Breakfast  at  your  hotel, and then the day is yours to do as you please. You may want to visit the museum where many of the treasures - Greek and Roman statues, intricately carved sarcophagi, jewellery, ceramics, glass and metalware - from the ancient sites of Perge, Aspendos and Side can be seen.

In the evening we take you  to  Antalya  airport  for  your  flight  to  Istanbul,  and on arrival we take you to your hotel for the night.  

 

Day 6: Istanbul  ( B )

 

After  breakfast  your day is free until it's time for us to take you to the airport for your international  flight  home.  You could go shopping  in the Grand  Bazaar  or  Spice  Market,  visit  the Museum of  Modern Art or  have a Turkish bath  in one of  Istanbul's  ancient  hamams.
