What you can expect

Snap photos of the towering minarets outside the Hagia Sophia, uncover the meticulous Iznik tile mosaics in the Blue Mosque, and drift through the Bosphorus on a scenic cruise on this full-day adventure. Along the way, look for souvenirs in the Grand Bazaar and enjoy a tasty Turkish lunch.

Start the day with a look inside the Byzantine-era architecture of the Hagia Sophia, a walk beneath the sky-colored tiles inside the Blue Mosque, and an intriguing visit to the ruins of the 4th-century Hippodrome. Consider rugs, jewelry, and antiques at the world's largest souk, the Grand Bazaar, and then grab lunch at a beloved local restaurant.

In the afternoon, head to the waterfront and climb aboard a spacious vessel for a cruise down the Bosphorus. Pass under the Bosphorus Bridge, snap photos of the city skyline, and listen to your guide about the confluence of cultures that exists at this meeting point between Europe and Asia. Pass by the formidable towers of the 14th-century Rumelian Castle, return to the marina, and climb back on your shuttle to enjoy a drive around Istanbul's peninsula, known as the Golden Horn.

Pass through historic Jewish neighborhoods and see the rusty corners of the cast iron Bulgarian St. Stephen Church as you make your way to the city's teleferik, a cable car that whisks you to the spectacular views found at the Pierre Loti coffeehouse. Consider a drink while you gaze at the city below, and then ride back down to catch a lift to your hotel.
