Grand bazaar it is the largest covered market of the world.It was built by otoman rulers. It has about 5000 shops. All type of products, especially hand made otoman style jewelry and antique style handicrafts are available. Good shopping skill is required for shopping in this bazar.Bargaining is a routine. You should start 50 % of the asking price !
The tours arranged for us to be picked up at the airport on our arrival in Istanbul, taken on a 3-4 hour “lay of the land” tour of Istanbul (We had previously seen the major sights) and then dropped off at the cruise terminal to begin our cruise. Everything couldn’t have gone smoother. It was a very positive experience. Highly recommended!
El tour nos llevo al bosforo e hicimos un tour duro mas de media hora y a jn precio muy razonable
A museum you have to visit in Istanbul. This is so big you have to take a day to visit everything thoroughly. They are restaurating parts of the museum at this time, but you don't experience any troubles because of that.
Istambul is an amazing city and Hagia Sophia is the hot spot of the visit.
Truly fantastic. Unfortunately today it is not a church anymore (neither a mosque) but a secularized museum.
You Should Definitely Visit Hagia Sophia !
Hagia Sophia is amazing.
Hagia Sophia is absolutely breathtaking mosque! Loved seeing the spots were the plaster has come off to reveal beautiful mosaics showing the building's original purpose, as a Christian church.
Can't wait to go back once the views are no longer obstructed by scaffolding and the restoration has ceased.
We visited Istanbul for 1 ½ days on board the Celebrity Reflection in August. I highly recommend this company and our guide Taylan for your Istanbul experience.
Hagia Sophina is very beautiful. I highly reccomend. It was crowded even in October but totally worth seeing.
