After leaving the hotel by private car or on foot, according to where your accommodation is located, you will arrive at the ancient district of Sultanahmet (also known as Constantinople). You can visit all these sites on foot and walk around them freely. Here are some highlights that we recommend seeing during this tour; The Roman Hippodrome dating back to the third century AD., Blue Mosque built in the seventeenth century which includes an interior visit, Hagia Sofia constructed in the sixth century but only viewing its exterior here due to restrictions within, Basilica Cisterns also created in the sixth century including access to see their beautiful interiors, Grand Bazaar established in fifteenth century allowing for exploration both indoors and outdoors.
