Highlights
-
Misir Carsisi (Spice Market) - No visit to glorious Istanbul is complete without the atmospheric Spice Bazaar.
Built-in 1664, as part of the Yeni Camii. While the Grand Bazaar may be the largest and most famous of Istanbul’s covered bazaars, this spice market wins the prize for being the most colorful, fragrant, and often the most fun -
Rustem Pasha Mosque - Discover the most beautiful and delicate examples of classical Iznik tiles dating back to 16th century.
It was designed by the famous Ottoman architect, Mimar Sinan for Rüstem Paşa, Grand Vizier to Süleyman the Magnificent. However, he died in 1561, before it could be completed in 1563. What makes this mosque stand out is the gorgeous interior, covered in Turkey’s famous Iznik tiles. These intricately designed blue tiles come in a wide variety of floral and geometric patterns. -
Beylerbeyi Palace - The Beylerbeyi Palace was commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz to act as an imperial summer residence. With 24 rooms, 6 halls, and a hamam, it would have been quite the summer home and was also used to entertain visiting dignitaries.
This is located on the Asian side of Istanbul. - Bosphorus Bridge - The Bosphorus Bridge is one of two bridges that spans the Bosphorus Strait, connecting the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. It stretches from Ortakoy on the European side to Beylerbeyi on the Asian side and is sometimes referred to as the First Bosphorus Bridge.
At 1560 meters long, the Bosphorus Bridge was the fourth longest suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 1973 and was the first bridge to connect Europe and Asia since a bridge spanning the Dardanelles in 480 B.C. Today, it is the 21st longest suspension bridge in the world. In 2007, an LED lighting system was installed to illuminate the bridge at night and the computerized system is now used to create a colorful light show every evening.
- Camlica Hill - Enjoy the beautiful panorama of Istanbul and the Bosphorus from this amazing vantage point. Çamlica Hill is located on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, near the first suspension bridge. Camlica, a place with two hills overlooking the Bosphorus and the Marmara Sea, is one of the most favored promenades in Istanbul, and also one of the highest and most charming places in the city. Camlica is 267 meters above sea level and the other one is 228 meters.
- Bosphorus - Enjoy a unique view of Istanbul as you glide along the Bosphorus, passing landmarks like the Dolmabahçe Palace, Topkapi Palace, and the Bosphorus Bridge.

Awesome experience, highly recommended. - Great experience, I had the pleasure to meet the owner personally. A true dedicated professional who knows his trade! Whatever you need to make your trip great, you will get it with this company. There are few people and business who deal with their customers with passion and dedication, those who empower themselves and others surrounding them, Mr Savaş is one of them. :)
