Hier is het startpunt

Once the 'Golden Gate' of the Romans and then the 'Seven Towers' of the Ottomans, it is now one of the city's most interesting historical sites, offering stunning panoramic views of Istanbul.
Mevlanakapı
Chora Museum
A real gem of Byzantine art, Chora is one of the top sights in Istanbul. Almost completely decorated with mosaics and frescos, Chora will stay in your memory for a long time after your visit.
Tekfur Sarayi
Once the palace of Roman emperors, the interior of this building has been reconstructed and turned into a museum, but it has preserved its exterior features very well. We will examine the building from the outside, but we can also visit the inside if you prefer.
Fatih Mosque and Complex
The mosque built by Sultan Mehmed, who conquered Constantinople and had the title of Caesar of Rome added to his other titles, is among the most important mosques of Istanbul. Sultan's tomb is also located in the courtyard of this mosque. Apart from its impressive architecture and some elements that remain a mystery, we will visit one of Istanbul's must-see spots with its unusual history that connects the building to a Roman and Christian past.
Valens Aqueduct (Bozdogan Kemeri)
Once part of the longest Roman water network, the 4th century Aqueduct of Emperor Valens still impresses its visitors with its monumental appearance.
Zeyrek Mosque
Despite significant damages caused by strong earthquakes and devastating fires, this 12th Century Roman building still preserves a harmonious blend of Byzantine and Ottoman art within its walls. Another impressive panorama of the city is just one of the surprises that is ready to be explored in and around of the Zeyrek Mosque.
