If you want to visit a special area in istanbul, you just need to let us know. A special tour program will be prepared and sent to you. If you do not have information about istanbul, an optional tour program with a list of places to visit will be prepared for you by our local guides.
We are meeting you at the port where you will have a stop during your cruise excursion. On this tour, we are taking you to the top highlights of istanbul city in your limited waiting time.
Our first stop is the glorious Hagia Sophia, which is one of the main attractions of istanbul. Located in the heart of the city, here we will witness one of the most accomplished architectural landmarks that have survived until this date from the Byzantine period. Here is a quick warning: Hagia Sophia is closed on Mondays; therefore if your tour is on Monday we will visit Basilica Cistern instead.
After Hagia Sophia, we are moving to the Blue Mosque that is also known as the mosque with six minarets. While discovering the amazing interiors and outdoors, we will be mesmerized by the blue İznik tiles, colored windows, and the heavenly marble work.
Continuing to the Hippodrome Square, where the chariot races took place in the Byzantine period, we will have the chance to see the exceptional Serpentine Column and the famous Egyptian Obelisk. With our professional guide, we will hear interesting stories about the history of istanbul.
Last but not least, we are heading to one of the largest and oldest covered markets of the world: The Grand Bazaar. With 60 shopping streets and hundreds of traditional shops, there is so much to explore in the Grand Bazaar. We can buy some souvenirs from local shops and exercise our bargaining skills here.
Please note: The Grand Bazaar is closed on Sundays; so in case your tour takes place on Sunday, we will have some free time in Nuruosmaniye Street or in Arasta Bazaar.
We are meticulously arranging your tour in accordance with your waiting time at the port. Your return time to the port is scheduled in order for you to easily rejoin your cruise. The tour times are based on the local time; not on ship time.
Once you disembark from your cruise ship, you should enter the terminal building and walk straight. You will meet your guide there and he will take you to your air-conditioned transportation.
We highly recommend you carry sunscreen, a hat, and water with you during the tour. Wearing comfortable shoes for this excursion would be a plus, as it involves some walking with inclines and steps.
The local currency of Turkey is the Turkish Lira; however, payment with Euro, British pound, and American dollars are also accepted by the locals.
It is forbidden to wear shoes inside the mosque; hence you will be asked to remove your shoes while walking inside the mosque. Inside the mosque, men were recommended to wear long trousers and sleeved shirts, while women were recommended to wear slacks, below-knee dresses or skirts, and elbow-length or longer shirts. For their hair, women can wear scarfs. If you do not have suitable clothing the attendants at the entrance will be assisting you free of charge.
Cruise ship passengers must submit the following information when making a reservation:
Comfortable athletic clothing.
