Hagia Sophia |
| |
Built by the Emperor Justinian when Istanbul was Constantinople,
this magnificent example of Byzantine architecture boasts a massive
dome, a lengthy nave, and an interior decorated with marble,
precious stones, and pillars from Ephesus. |
| |
|
| |
Topkapi Palace |
| |
A huge walled complex hugging the Bosphorus, the former palace
of the Ottoman sultans is now a museum with an extraordinary
collection of Chinese porcelain, art, artifacts and jewels,
including the Topkapi diamond and the dagger. |
| |
|
| |
Blue Mosque |
| |
Six graceful minarets adorn the elegant mosque, one of the
city's most recognizable landmarks. More than 20,000 blue Iznik
tiles highlight the superb interior. |
| |
|
| |
Hippodrome |
| |
The large, open square was once the site of a Roman circus that
rivaled the Colosseum and could seat a quarter of a million
spectators. Monuments on the site include the Snake Column from
Delphi and an Egyptian obelisk taken from the Temple of Karnak at
Luxor. |
| |
|
| |
Grand Bazaar |
| |
Your guide escorts you to a store just outside the Grand Bazaar,
your rendezvous point after experiencing the marketplace. Take in a
carpet-weaving demonstration or explore the Bazaar, where the shops
are organized by the wares they sell. The narrow alleys are filled
with shops offering jewelry, carpets, leather ware, copper goods and
more. Bargaining is expected - and half the fun. |
