Transfer you from your Hotel in Istanbul - Airport or Shipport in Karakoy.
Meet with your guide and depart to Halic- Golden Horn: This horn-like shapes on the European side of Istanbul is one of the best natural harbours of the world. As such, it was very important during Ottoman and Byzantine times. Today, lovely parks and promenades surround the bay. Like a fairly tale, you can see the skyline of the city as the sun set behind the Golden Horn. The city streets along the bank of the Golden Horn are as an open-air museum of the past. In Fener, you can see whole streets with houses and churches from the Byzantine times. Eyup is another important district, which looks very Ottoman, with its old cemeteries and tombs of holy people. Visit the Church St. Saviour in Chora very famous for its mosaics showing Virgin Mary's and Jesus Christ's life's. From the hills above Eyüp you have a wonderful view on the Golden Horn. Enjoy this view with a cup of coffee in the traditional Pierre Loti Cafe (the most famous French author.)
