The programme

We set off for our panoramic tour directly from the port and drive through the heart of modern Istanbul - Taksim Square which is a bustling venue 24 hours a day.
We continue with the amazing Dolmabahce Palace located in the European part of the city and overlooking the Bosphorus.
As we cross the Ataturk Bridge, the coach takes us to the older part of the city where we can admire the Old City Walls, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, the various gates and the Sea of Marmara where we stop to take a few photos.
We set off again and head to the heart of the Old City where we remain enchanted in front of the majestic and elegant Sultan Ahmed Mosque better known as the Blue Mosque. The building is one of Istanbul’s main points of reference with its imposing domes, marvellous gardens and six tall slender minarets that manage to capture our gaze even from a great distance.
Not far away, we stop for some pictures at the Hagia Sophia, built during the 6th century and considered one of the city's main monuments as well as the quintessential example of Byzantine architecture .
After our panoramic tour, our coach takes us to the airport
