Tour Plan

You don't have to spend your time in the airport waiting for the next flight anymore. If you have 6 hours or more, here is a very attractive offer: visit Istanbul, the old city. 


In the old city of Istanbul, visit the Topkapi Palace, the great palace of the Ottoman sultans from the 15th to the 19th centuries. It is the home of a very exclusive collection consisting of crystal, silver, Chinese porcelain, robes worn by the sultans and their families; the famous jewels of the imperial treasury; miniatures; the Holy Mantle; and enshrining relics of the Prophet Mohammed.


The next stop is the Sultanahmet Mosque, which was built in the 16th century by the architect Mehmet, is known as the Blue Mosque because of its magnificent interior decoration of blue Iznik tiles. Across it, on the other side of the Hippodrome, stands St. Sophia; a revolution in the history of architecture and a tourist and spiritual center of attraction for hundreds of years. The Hippodrome, on the other hand, was the scene of chariot races, and the home of the three monuments; the Obelisk of Theodosius, the bronze Serpentine Column, and the Column of Constantine.


The TSG team will then take you to the bazaar, where you can find Turkish hand-made souvenirs, carpets, jewelry, pottery, Turkish sweets, and more. After the tour, the team will transfer you back to the airport.
