beautytoursturkey.com
Pick up at 09:00am from your hotel for the historical day tour of old Istanbul city.
Visit to ST. SOPHIA This ancient basilica, built by Constantine the Great in the 4th century and reconstructed by Justinian in the 6th century, is one of the architectural marvels of all time.
TOPKAPI PALACE The great palace of the Ottoman sultans from the 15th to the 19th centuries housing an exquisite collection of cyrstal, silver, and Chinese porcelain, robes worn by the sultans and their families, the famous jewels of the Imperial Treasury, miniatures, the Holy Mantle; enshrining relics of the Prophet Mohammed.
SULTANAHMET IMPERIAL MOSQUE Across from St. Sophia 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.
HIPPODROME Ancient Hippodrome, the scene of chariot races, with the three monuments; the Obelisk of Theodosius, the bronze Serpentine Column and the Column of Constantine.
UNDERGROUND CISTERN This cistern is thought to have been built after the Nika revolt in 532 AD.
It was known as the Basilica Cistern during the Roman period, as there was a Stoa Basilica above the pre-existing one at the time.
After the conquest of the city by the Ottoman Turks, it was forgotten of and nobody knew that it existed. Re- discovered in 1545, it was used to water the gardens of Topkapi Palace.
Today it has a rather eery and mystical ambiance. Clever spotlighting makes the water shimmer with coloured dancing lights and the water ripples from an occasional fish swishing its tail in exuberance.
You will be then taken to the GRAND COVERED BAZAAR In this labyrinth of streets and passages are more then 4,000 shops with each trade having its own area: the goldsmiths’ street, the carpet sellers, Turkish arts and crafts, such as handpainted ceramic plates, hand- honed copperware, brassware and trays, water ewers, onyx- ware and meerschaum pipes.

Magic Ice Istanbul is world’s first ice museum in a warm climate located in Forum Shopping Mall.
As Istanbul readies for summer, one of the first permanent ice museums in a warm climate opened its doors, set to be a cold heaven for those who want to escape the city’s heat.
The Magic Ice Museum was realized with an investment of $20 million by the Lofoten Trading Company from Norway, where ice museums have become an art.
The Magic Ice Museum covers 1,400 square meters. Visitors will wear special Eskimo-style clothes and enter the museum through an ice tunnel. The museum’s interior temperature will be kept at minus 5 degrees Celsius in both winter and summer.
Some 70 tons of ice were brought from the River Torne in Sweden’s Jukkasjarvi region to make the museum’s ice statues, while its walls and tunnels were made with 100 tons of ice provided by Istanbul.
The museum was conceived by the designers and sculptors of the Ice Hotel in Sweden.
The first section of the museum explains the Vikings’ 880 visit to Istanbul to visitors, who are provided with information through writings on sheets of ice.
The information states that the first Vikings, who came to Istanbul over the Black Sea, used the name Miklagard, which means protected lands, for the city.
A Runic writing, which belonged to a Viking soldier named Halvdan, has been found on the walls of the Hagia Sophia Museum in Istanbul.
The museum also holds an eight-meter boat and a house made of ice, as well as a map of the first Vikings’ travels.
The two other sections of the museum include information about Scandinavian nature and an ice vitamin bar, where visitors are offered fruit juice in ice glasses.
The Magic Ice museum is located inside the Forum Istanbul shopping mall in Bayrampasa district, next to the Turquazoo Aquarium.
