Discover the cultural and historical treasures of the Golden Horn on an immersive tour from Istanbul!

Your day will begin with a visit to the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, an iconic landmark for Muslims around the world.

You'll explore this sacred space and discover its spirit-filled atmosphere, between ancient plane trees and praying worshippers.

You'll then take the cable car to Café Pierre Loti, a historic establishment with a breathtaking view of the Golden Horn. This picturesque spot, named after the French writer who fell in love with Istanbul, is ideal for enjoying a moment of relaxation while admiring the panorama of the city and its natural estuary.

The excursion will continue with the discovery of Miniatürk, a fascinating park featuring over 100 miniature models of Turkey's greatest monuments. You'll have the opportunity to contemplate faithful reproductions of iconic sites such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the ancient wonders of Ephesus and Troy. A captivating journey through Turkish history and architecture!

At the end of this enriching tour, you'll be driven back to your point of departure in Istanbul.
