Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Suleymaniye Mosque, Prof. SIddIk Sami Onar Cd. No:1 Süleymaniye Mah, Istanbul 34116 Turkey
Built on the order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and constructed by the great Ottoman architect Sinan. The construction work began in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1557. The mosque is modeled in part on the style of a Byzantine basilica, particularly the Hagia Sophia, which was perhaps a conscious move on the part of the sultan to create a continuity and a symbolic connection with the city's past.

Stop At: Walls of Constantinople (Istanbul City Walls), Istanbul Turkey

Stop At: Kariye Museum (The Chora Church), Kariye Cami Sk. No: 8 Fatih, Istanbul 34087 Turkey
The Church of Chora - representing fascinating wall paintings which tell the life of Christ in an historical order.

Today the environment is restored and this is a good place to spend time with local artisans and wooden houses.
