What To Expect

Beyazit Square
You are going to meet with your guide at 09.00 am at your hotel reception. Firstly, we will walk around the Beyazid square where the old Ottoman book bazaar of Istanbul is located then we will walk down to the Tahtakale, which is a popular shopping area for local people as they are able to buy almost anything at wholesale prices.

Suleymaniye Mosque
Suleymaniye Mosque was built on the order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and constructed by the great Ottoman architect Sinan. The construction work began in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1557. The mosque is modeled in part on the style of a Byzantine basilica, particularly the Hagia Sophia, which was perhaps a conscious move on the part of the sultan to create a continuity and a symbolic connection with the city's past.

Kadikoy Carsisi
Then we will catch a ferry to Kadikoy, a largely residential area on the Asian side of Istanbul. In Kadikoy, you will get to see how the local people live and visit Kadikoy's famous fish market. We will have lunch in Kadikoy and then board another local ferry back to the European side of Istanbul.

Taksim Square
The ferry will stop at Besiktas and from there we will catch a dolmus up to Taksim, also known as Pera and is one of the main centers of Istanbul. Walking down Istiklal Street, the main street in Taksim, you will feel like you are walking down a European street, with many famous clothing shops, such as mango and Topshop as well as a number of Starbucks and more than 3,000 street cafes, pubs and restaurants. Taksim is almost the best place to experience the nightlife of Istanbul.
