Tour Plan
We will pick you up from your hotel around 08:00-8:30 in the morning and transfer you to the meeting point. After meeting the other members of the group and your guide, we start the bus tour at 09:00.
We will start our tour by visiting the City Walls built by Constantine. These walls are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul in Turkey) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire.
We will visit the interior of Chora Church. Since it is outside the walls, the structure is called "Chora", which means "inside the countryside" or "outside the city" in Greek. One of the magnificent masterpieces of the world, beautiful mosaics and frescoes are exhibited.
After the church visit, we will go to the Miniaturk Open Air Museum, which consists of 57 buildings from Istanbul, 51 from Anatolia and 12 buildings from the Ottoman lands outside Turkey today. It is one of the largest miniature parks in the world in terms of model area. Miniatürk also has an open area of 40,000 m2, a closed area of 3,500 m2, a pool and waterway of 2,000 m2, and a car park with a capacity of 500 vehicles.
Our tour will end when we return to the starting area and take you back to your hotel. We say goodbye to you, our valued guests, and hope to meet you at the next Gazali Tourism organization.
