This daily tour will cover all for a first time visitor in Istanbul. Historical peninsula with museums, mosques and Bazaars, the surviving oldest palace of Ottoman Empire and the Byzantine monuments. Hagia Sophia, standing for 1500 years, charming every conqueror as Latins and Ottomans, guarded by Vikings, believed to be a spiritual portal by Christians and some Muslims, full of legends. . . Topkapi Palace was home, ivy league and a lady school, executive counsil and an education center for 400 years. What did happen exciting, weird or interesting during all those centuries? Basilica Cistern, protected or cursed by Medusa head. Is it really Medusa or Athena taking her revenge from both Poseidon and any women who gets closer to her man!. . What would Medusa represent even in astrology? What does the eclipse of November 19th, 21 has to do with Medusa? There is more to discover with me :) * Topkapi Palace is closed on Tuesdays. Dolmabahce Palace will be visited on Tuesdays instead.
