Cancelación gratuita con condicionesDive into Istanbul's Byzantine history on an enriching guided tour!
You'll begin your tour by discovering the Golden Horn, the ancient natural harbor of the Byzantines. You'll then visit the Patriarchate of Fener (Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople), the seat of Orthodoxy since Constantine the Great proclaimed Christianity the religion of the Roman Empire. The church of Sainte-Marie-des-Blachernes, a famous shrine to the Virgin Mary, will open its doors to you for a spiritual immersion. You'll pass by the dungeons of Anemas, former places of detention for the dignitaries of the time. The Tekfur palace, the only vestige of the Blachernes palace, will reveal itself to you. Finally, the Chora Museum, a former Byzantine monastery, will amaze you with its mosaics and frescoes depicting biblical scenes. Along the way, you'll pass along the Byzantine walls, witnesses to the city's past grandeur.
