Guided walks that make sense of a city built in layers, Roman under Byzantine under Ottoman. Sultanahmet is compact; the major sights sit within fifteen minutes of one another on foot. Pick the old city or Galata, not both in one go.
Take a stroll through Istanbul's Fener Balat district and unravel the mysteries of over 3,000 mosques, setting the stage for an unforgettable cultural exploration.
