* Hotel in Istanbul:
08.30 You would pick up from your hotel and start to visit the following sites listed below.
List of the places you will visit:
Hagia Sophia Mosque & Museum: Hagia Sophia Mosque and Museum is known as the 8th wonder of the world. Emperor Justinianos commissioned the work. Thousands of workers worked in its construction and it took 5 years in total. Thus it was opened in 537. While Hagia Sophia was being built, thousands of marble and mosaic stones were brought from all over the world. These marbles and stones consist of the best marbles and stones of the period. Thus, the best work of the period was created. It was used as a church from the construction of Hagia Sophia until the conquest of Istanbul. However, after the conquest, the church was converted into a mosque. It was converted into a museum in 1935. What makes the interior of the Hagia Sophia Museum magnificent is that its dome is suspended in the air. This magnificent structure has been repaired during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid. Inside the dome is written the 35th verse of the An-Nur Surah in the Holy Quran, which means "Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth." It started to serve again as Hagia Sophia Mosque on July 24, 2020, and today the ground floor serves as a mosque and the upper floor serves as a museum..
Hagia Irene Church Museum: Hagia Irene Church Museum is the First Church of Byzantium. While rebuilding the city, Constantine, one of the Roman Emperors, built a forum, a palace, and a hippodrome in his name, as well as the Hagia Irene Church on top of the Roman temples in the 330s. The dictionary meaning of Hagia Irene or Hagia Eirene is 'Holy Peace'; but also a saint who lived in the same century. The real name of the saint is Penelope. He tries to spread Christianity. He is thrown into a well full of snakes by pagans, but he does not die. He is stoned, tied to horses, and dragged; yet he does not die. At the end of the miracles, pagans become Christians; Irene is also a saint. Emperor Constantine named the first temple of the monotheistic religion, which he built upon this extraordinary event, Hagia Irene.
The Little Hagia Sophia Mosque: It is the church built by Justinian and his wife Theodor II. It was converted into a mosque during the reign of Bayezid (1481-1512). It was built between 527-536 and was known as Hagia Sergios and Bachos Church in its early periods. In the following years, it was converted into a mosque. It was built just a few years before the Grand Hagia Sophia Mosque Museum. The little Hagia Sophia Mosque was repaired in 1836 and 1956. Little Hagia Sophia was damaged in the earthquakes of 1648 and 1766. What causes the most damage to the structure is the railway line built right in front of it. In addition, construction disorders have both damaged the structure and changed its appearance. Finally, the 1999 Marmara Earthquake caused some cracks in the structure.
The Aqueduct of Valens in Istanbul: The Valens Aqueduct is 971 meters long and its peak height is approximately 29 meters. It is not a completely flat and orderly structure because some of its components have been rebuilt at various points over time. On the other hand, the arches between 41 and 45 and 52 and 56, respectively, belong to II. It was rebuilt during the reigns of Mustafa and Suleiman I. As can be seen, arches 1 – 40 (including 1 and 40) and 46 – 51 have remained unchanged since the time of Emperor Valens. The width of the aqueduct is also asymmetrical, its widest point is 8.24 meters and its narrowest point is 7.75 meters. The columns are 3.70 meters thick and currently extend 6 meters below the surface. When you look at the map of the Valens Aqueduct, you can see that the water converging near Edirnekapı comes from the northeast and northwest parts of the Valens Aqueduct. Daily flow measured in the 1950s was around 6,000 m3.
Basilica Cistern Museum Istanbul: One of the magnificent historical structures of Istanbul is the Basilica Cistern located to the southwest of Hagia Sophia. This large underground cistern, built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (527-565), was popularly called the "Basilica Palace" due to the seemingly countless marble columns rising from the water. Since there was a Basilica before where the cistern was located, it is also known as the Basilica Cistern. The cistern is a giant structure that covers a rectangular area with a length of 140 meters and a width of 70 meters. There are 336 columns, each 9 meters high, in this cistern, which can be accessed via a 52-step stone staircase. These columns, erected 4.80 meters apart, form 12 rows of 28 columns each. The attic space of the cistern was transferred to the columns through arches.
The Column of Constantine (Çemberlitaş Column): The Column of Constantine, which was given great importance during the Byzantine period, did not lose its importance during the Ottoman period and has survived to the present day after undergoing various repairs. This approximately 1700-year-old monumental structure, which bears witness to the history of Istanbul, is one of the must-see works in the Historical Peninsula. In 324, Roman Emperor Constantine decided to move the center of his Empire to the eastern province of Byzantium. He asks his architects to completely overhaul the city and build a magnificent Roman city on seven hills. While structures such as the Grand Palace and the Hippodrome were built in the area where Sultanahmet Square is located, the Konstantinos Forum was built in the area where Çemberlitaş is located, as the political and commercial square of the city. As a symbol of the emperor's power, the Çemberlitaş Column was brought from Rome and erected in the middle of the circular square in 328. While initially there was a statue of the Sun god Apollo at the top of the column, later Constantine had his own statue placed. It is stated that the length of the column and the statue at that time was 57 meters. However, the statue of Constantine did not remain on the column for long, and later the statues of the Emperors Lulianos and Theodosius, who succeeded him respectively, took their place on this column.

List of the places you will visit:
Hagia Stephen Church: Hagia Stephen Church, known as the Iron Church or Bulgarian Church, is located in Balat. Located on the shores of the Golden Horn, St. Stephen Church is affiliated with the Bulgarian Exarchate. It was built on October 25, 1859, in the name of Istefanaki Bey, a Bulgarian statesman who served in the Ottoman Empire. Hagia Stephen Church was opened to visitors in 2018 after a seven-year restoration
St. Antony of Padua Catholic Church: St. Antony of Padua Catholic Church is located on Istiklal Street in Taksim. Built-in 1912 in the Italian neo-gothic style, the church is also the largest church in Istanbul and the church belonging to the most populous Catholic section. It was built by priests in 1230 in the name of their founder, St. Francis of Assisi. Having survived three fires, St. Antony of Padua Catholic Church was moved to Beyoğlu after the last fire in 1696.
Galata Tower Museum Istanbul: The Galata Tower is one of the most beautiful stops in Istanbul's travel programs. It is considered one of the magnificent architectural structures that make Istanbul what it is. Many legends have been told about the Galata Tower throughout history. Many sayings love with the Maiden's Tower determines the future of couples. Even songs and poems were written about the beauty of the Galata Tower. This subterranean cistern was called Basilica because it was located under a large public square, the Stoa Basilica, on the First Hill of Constantinople. Before its construction, a great basilica stood on the spot. It was built during the Early Roman Age between the 3rd and 4th centuries as a commercial, legal, and artistic center. The basilica was reconstructed by Illus after a fire in 476. Ancient texts indicated that the basilica cistern contained gardens surrounded by a colonnade that faced the Hagia Sophia. According to ancient historians, Emperor Constantine built a structure that was later reconstructed and enlarged by Emperor Justinian after the Nika riots of 532, which devastated the city.
St. George Fener Greek Patriarchate: It is an important building for Orthodox Christianity. Located in Fatih, the central district of old Istanbul, this building was built in 1836. It contains sacred items and mosaics from the Byzantine period. The church was exposed to a fire and destroyed in 1941. Restoration work started in 1989 and it was reopened for worship in 1991.
Surp Krikor Lusavoric Armenian Church: The church, built in 1431, is the oldest Armenian church in Istanbul. As a result of the good relations between Armenians and Genoese living in Istanbul before the conquest of Istanbul, the Genoese sold this place, which was sacred to them, to the Armenians. It was destroyed by a fire on April 7, 1660, but was repaired. This church, which completely burned down again on February 7, 1731, was built by Sarkis Kalfa from Kayseri within 3 months with the order he received from Mahmud I and was opened on March 10, 1733. Its difference from other Armenian churches is that its interior is arched and covered with lead.
