This tour has consistently ranked among our top picks. The majestic architecture of the Suleymaniye Mosque has always been mesmerizing. It stands as a symbol of the strength of a bygone era, and its design, a testament to architect Sinan’s brilliance, surpasses even contemporary architectural standards.
Your eyes will sparkle at the sight of the Grand Bazaar. This bazaar is a microcosm of modern shops, Turkish culture, and studios of vanishing art forms with over 4000 shops in its entirety. Although many of these are major tourist attractions, there still exist some predominantly local shops. Our mutual enjoyment will come from visiting such studios and shops. When it comes to savouring genuine food in the bazaar, our choice invariably leans towards the restaurants frequented by the shopkeepers themselves. That is exactly what we intend to do.
