Duration: 3 to 5 hours

Product code: 2417

Overview

Galata, where we will first stop after picking you up, is the old part of Istanbul, it has witnessed many events, and it still meets its guests as it did during the time of the Sultans and Emperors. Reaching the top of the Galata Tower is fantastic.

The 63-metre building offers extraordinarily beautiful views of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn. After that, you will drive by coach to the Golden Horn which is one of the most attractive places in Istanbul, and numerous legends and stories surround it. Learn lots of interesting facts about Istanbul. Istanbul has a strong connection with its past, and always remind us of its long history. The story of every old building in Istanbul is woven into the overall fabric of the city’s historical events. The Eyup Sultan Mosque is a significant building and requires special reverence.

After visiting the mosque, you will continue your adventure by driving to the Pierre Loti Café. The Pierre Loti Café is a place of meetings and partings, memories and sadness, inspiration and joy. The Pierre Loti café was named after the French writer (Julien Vio) who often visited the city.

Even here Istanbul does not leave its guests but creates unique comfort on top of a hill, offering strong tea and unforgettable black Turkish coffee.
