Program

event Day 1 — Çamlıca Hill - Dolmabahçe Palace - Bosphorus Tour - Pier Loti — 5* City Hotels

Dear guests; After welcoming you at the specified stops on Friday evening at the designated times, we will begin our journey with the comfortable buses of GEZİ TUTKUNLARI. Our first stop in the morning is Çamlıca Hill, where we will take visual photos of Istanbul and enjoy our tea against the view. After crossing to the European side via the Bosphorus Bridge, we will visit Dolmabahçe Palace, which is interesting for its representation of life during the period with its contents and where Atatürk lived in his last years. We explore the Selamlık section of this largest palace in Istanbul, built in a mixed style of European and Ottoman styles, where almost all decorative elements are exhibited in their original places; we admire the world-famous Hereke carpets, mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture, priceless crystal chandeliers weighing tons, and many more rich decorative elements. (NOTE: There is no entrance to the Harem section of Dolmabahçe Palace with a Museum card, and it incurs an extra fee.) After these magical moments, we embark on a Bosphorus Tour to see Istanbul from the sea. We complete our tour among the historical mansions along Beşiktaş, Ortaköy, Arnavutköy, Bebek, Rumeli Hisarı, Emirgan, and Yeniköy. We say it is a must to eat fish sandwich in Eminönü and have our lunch. After our break, we enjoy the view of the Golden Horn and arrive in Balat, where we will have a short walk with our guide to see the authentic Greek houses and churches in Balat. Finally, we ascend to Pierre Loti Hill, where we will witness the magnificent view of the Golden Horn, and after sipping our evening tea, we head to our hotel. Dinner and accommodation will be at our hotel. Guests who wish can join the Kumkapı Entertainment. (Extra)

event Day 2 — Historical Peninsula - Topkapi Palace - Hagia Sophia Mosque - Taksim Square

After having breakfast at our hotel, we start our tour of the Historical Peninsula. Our first stop is Topkapi Palace, where we will visit the Bab-ı Hümayun, Ayairini, Babüsselam, the ceremonial carriages, kitchens and porcelain collection, Divan-ı Hümayun and Justice Tower, Treasury (weapons), Babüssade, Arz Room, III. Ahmed Library, Sacred Relics Room, Hamam, Topkapi Treasures, Mecidiye, Baghdad and Revan Pavilions, Kameriye and Has Garden sections. Then we will visit the Hagia Sophia Mosque, which is seen as the first and last unique application in terms of its architecture, grandeur, size, and functionality. After visiting Hagia Sophia, we proceed to the Hippodrome. We will explore the German Fountain, Egyptian Obelisk, Serpent Column, and the Column of the Braided Pillar in the Hippodrome Square, where horse and chariot races were held. After visiting the Sultanahmet Mosque, one of the most famous monuments of the Turkish and Islamic world that gives its name to Sultanahmet Square, our next stop is the Basilica Cistern. After a mesmerizing tour, we arrive at Taksim Square, the last visit point of our tour. After our guide's explanations, we will have free time, and then we will start our return journey, bidding farewell until we meet again on another GEZİ TUTKUNLARI trip. NOTE: Due to road congestion, traffic, fog, and weather conditions, our arrival time in Izmir may be later than planned. Therefore, we recommend that you plan your return ticket and flight ticket for the next day.
