Ephesus Tours






























































Home → Private Day Tours → Istanbul Tours
The big tip is to try and go completely private. Many of the large tour companies offer private tour and they are going to charge a significant amount of money for the tour guide. However, many locations offer self-guided tours and therefore you have the ability to supply your own tour guide. Easily Book your guided private Ephesus tours, to see all the treasures of Ephesus Turkey. It's often said that Turkey has more ancient cities and classical ruins than does Greece. Well, it's true, and the Aegean coast holds a great number of sites, including Ephesus, the grandest and best-preserved of them all.
Hagia Sophia is a must see when you visit Istanbul. It is worthwhile getting one of the guides, who will whisk you past all the crowds waiting to get in and will provide you with a mine of information. Make sure he is approved by the government.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and told us the stories relating to each of the sites we visited. All this was arranged over the internet, so we headed into unknown territory, but it all worked extremely well. Lunch was also included.
I had heard so much about Istanbul's Grand Bazaar that perhaps my expectations were too high. Loads of stores, overpriced merchandise, definitely colorful, but nothing unique or unusual that I wished I would have bought. I've been to many bazaars, and this one was certainly not the best.
The Archaeology Museum was pleasantly quiet when we visited, in contrast to the palace next door. The museum has some great pieces and with parts of the museum reopening after renovation since I last visited a little over a year ago I’m glad I returned.
You Should Definitely Visit Hagia Sophia !
Hagia Sophia an amazing place. It is the size that impressed me the most. An hour was sufficient. We arrived at about 10am, mid-November so no queue for tickets. Later as we were leaving the queue was very long.
The panorama’s are breathtaking! I was fortunate to have visited the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia Cathedral and the Topkapi Palace. All three are very different, but absolutely stunning in their beauty, history and architecture. It’s a must to see, as is Istanbul and Turkey.
Basilica Cistern is the magical place that indeed all of the other reviewers have described. It’s a must-see and is a good alternative when the nearby Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are too crowded.
But I bet most visitors are disappointed in their pictures of it when they get home. Reason? They took flash pictures. If you really want to capture the beautiful dimly illuminated cistern, you need to hold your camera very still (tripod, or balanced securely on railing) and use a setting without flash. Read your camera instructions if you don’t know how to do this. Trust me. You won’t regret it.
Hagia Sophia… historical mosque and church… the place have different culture, very big place is now museum. St Sophia have a magnicifant and huge dome.
Wonderful! Congratulations! But to refer to a monument maybe the title should talk by itself about its heritage. Hagia Sophia (meaning in Greek “God’s Wisdom”) was built as a Christian Orthodox Cathedral and was transferred to a mosque centuries later.It is oxymoron (contradictory) to have a Greek-Byzantine name to Mosque. Correct Historic and Academic name: “Hagia Sophia Orthodox patriarchal basilica.” Congratulations again for the site!
