Private Full-Day Strolling through the Old Markets of Istanbul
This has always been one of our favorite tours. We've always truly enjoyed watching the elegant architecture of Suleymaniye Mosque. It's a symbol of strength of an era. Reflecting the genius of architect Sinan, Suleymaniye Mosque goes beyond even the standards of modern time architecture.
Grand Bazaar will shine your eyes. The bazaar is a world consisting of contemporary shops, Turkish culture and ateliers of dying arts including more than 4000 shops. Even though most of these are touristy places, some shops visited mostly by locals can still be seen. Together we will enjoy visiting such ateliers and shops. Whenever we visit the bazaar to taste the real food we do always prefer a restaurant where the shopkeepers usually eat. This is definitely what we are going to do.
