Our staff will pick you from the hotel at around 08:00-8:30 am and transfer you to the meeting point. After you meet the other members of the group and your guide, we will start the bus tour at 09:00am.

City walls

We will start our tour by strolling through the City Walls built by Constantine. These walls are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul in Turkey) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire.

Chora Church (Kariye Museum)

We will pay an interior visit to Chora church. Since it stood outside of the city walls, the building was called “Chora”, which means “in the country” or “outside of the city” in Greek. It exhibits one of the marvelous masterpieces, finest mosaics and frescoes in the world.

Miniaturk Open Air Museum

After visiting the church we will head to Miniaturk open air museum which consists of 57 structures from Istanbul, 51 from Anatolia and 12 structures from the Ottoman territories that today lie outside of Turkey. It is one of the world's largest miniature park in respect to its model area.
