Ottoman's Magesty Tour - Half Day (13:30 to 17:00)
Meet you at the cruise port of Istanbul, the airport or
your hotel in the morning, for a tour of visiting ;
Topkapi Palace: As the administrative center,
for nearly 400 years, for the Ottoman Empire, which was one
of the greatest empires of the world, Topkapi Palace is certainly
the most important historical site to be visited in Istanbul.
In 1461, less than ten years after the Conquest, Fatih Mehmet
ordered the construction of Topkapi Sarayi a palace that would
be known as Dar-üs Saadet, the "House of Felicity".
Topkapi Sarayi remained the seat of the Ottoman Sultans until
1868, when Abdülmecit I moved to the European-style Dolmabahce
Palace farther up the Bosphorus.
Süleymaniye Mosque: Suleymaniye is without
question one of the greatest works of its architect, Sinan.
Begun in 1550, the mosque was completed in 1557, with two
more years required in order to finish the entire complex.
At the end of the tour transfer back to the port or your
hotel.
