Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
A grand bazaar where you would find everything under one roof. Its a good walk around and. Ery crowded all the time. I was surprised to see different brand replics here and lot of gold shops around. They have a whole section for antiques im sure most of them must be replics. But worth a visit.
Es miatica magica explendida uno de los nombres que le entrege a istanbul
Our tour guide Sinan gave us a great comprehensive tour of the major sights of Istanbul. He was friendly, and even willing to do some additional research for us on a potential Ephesus tour. I’d highly recommend him.
Turquia es igual a istanbul una maravilla gracias tour privado por fasilitar nuestra visita
Istanbul es lo mas hermoso es una ciudad mistica y fabulosa
Overall a very interesting museum, unfortunately it is currently going through a renovation.
We had an excellant Tour. It was really great! Thanks and all the best..
a 4000 year peace treaty, art works depicting human emotions going back 300 years, beautiful tiles and pottery, units of weight and measure quoted in the bible and historical books…each exhibition makes you wonder about what we call progress!
Hagia Sophia amazing place also, beautiful place and people are extremely friendly in this area, would definitely recommend
Hagia Sophia brings together a lot of history and really exemplifies the brilliance and openness of Ataturk – he turned a building that was first a historic Christian Basilica, and then a Mosque for hundreds of years, into a Museum, celebrating both traditions.
