What's included in Private Istanbul Heritage Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque
Hagia Sophia which means Holy Wisdom, an important Byzantine structure in Istanbul and one of the world's great monuments. It was built as a Christian church in the 6th century under the direction of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. In subsequent centuries it became a mosque, a museum, and a mosque again. The building reflects the religious changes that have played out in the region over the centuries, with the minarets and inscriptions of Islam as well as the lavish mosaics of Christianity.
Sogukcesme Sokak
Running between the Topkapi Palace walls and Hagia Sophia, this picturesque cobbled street is named after the Soğuk Çeşme(Cold Fountain) at its southern end.
Caferaga Madrasa - Handicrafts Center
This lovely little building tucked away in the shadow of Hagia Sophia was designed by Ottoman Architect Mimar Sinan on the orders of Cafer Aga, Suleyman the Magnificent's chief black eunuch. Built in 1560 as a school, it now houses a cultural organisation that teaches and promotes traditional Turkish handicrafts. The courtyard is home to the unassuming Caferaga Medresesi Tea House where possible to enjoy a glass of tea or a cup of Turkish Coffee.
