Brief Info about the sites:
Dolmabahce Palace Museum: The Dolmabahce Palace, a blend of various European architectural styles, was built between 1843-1856 by Karabet Balyan, the court architect of Sultan Abdulmecid. The tree-storied palace built on a symmetrical plan has 285 rooms and 43 halls. The Palace has survived intact with its original decorations, furniture, silk carpets, and curtains. It surpasses all other palaces in the world in wealth and magnificence.

Golden Horn (from the bus): The arm of the Bosphorus and a natural harbor of the historical peninsula separating the old and the new parts of İstanbul where the first colonies settled during the Byzantine. The residential area was for Byzantine Jews, Italian traders, and other non-Muslim minorities. Drive along the history traces at Balat viewing the Metal Church of St. Stephen the Bulgarian, 21 km. long City Walls(from the bus), the strongest fortification of the middle age.

Spice Bazaar: It is located at Eminonu behind the New Mosque(Valide Sultan Mosque). It was constructed by Turhan Sultan in 1660 as a pious foundation attached to New Mosque. Allow your senses be invaded by the Egyptian or Spice Bazaar, an essential visit, despite being much smaller and perhaps existing in the shadow of the massive Grand Bazaar..

Bosphorus Cruise by Boat: A traditional excursion by boat along the waterway separating Europe and Asia. The shore is lined with old wooden villas, palaces of marble, fortresses, and small fishing villages. During the excursion, you will pass the magnificent Dolmabahce Palace, and further along, the parks and imperial pavillions of Yildiz Palace. On the coastal edge of this park, is Ciragan Palace, 300 meters of is marble facade faces the shore. At Ortakoy a great variety of artists gathers every Sunday to display their work along the street. Ortakoy is a symbol of tolerance with a church, a mosque and a synagogue existing side by side for centuries.

Nehmen sie sich Zeit für diese Tur.Wir haben praktisch ganz İstanbul an einem Tag gesehen!Die Bootsfahrt zwischen Europa und Asien,Pierre Lotti Hill (der höchste Punkt in der europaeischen Seite),die Stadtmauer....Ganz interessant war der Dolmabahce Palast wo Atatürk der Gründer der Türkei zuletzt gelebt hat und gestorben ist.Haben sehr gut gegessen in einem Gartenrestaurant (Essen war super!)Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.

Wir haben hier schon von zu Hause aus gebucht.Nach langem studieren haben wir diese Ganztagestur gewaehlt.War der Treffer kann ich sagen.Weil hier ist schon so gut wie alles mit drin was zu sehen ist.Die Bootsfahrt am Bosporus ist sowieso ein muss.Auch der Dolmabahce Palast wo mann eigentlich Eintritt bezahlt ist hier inbegriffen.Das goldene Horn,mit Seilbahn.Wir haben die Mitarbeiter hier persöhnlich besucht und kennen gelernt.Voll professionell wie bei uns,alles gut organisiert.Haben dazu auch den Apfeltee genossen,von dem wir auch im Gewürzmarkt in Eminönü für uns selber gekauft haben.Bis zum naechsten mal.....
