Dancing Hues of Blue at Blue Mosque

The Blue Mosque, also known as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, features a stunning blend of Ottoman and Byzantine architectural styles. Built-in the early 17th century, this mosque gets its name from the thousands of blue ceramic tiles that line the walls and ceilings of the interior. At night the tiles reflect the lights and the mosque is bathed in a blue glow. The tiles were hand-painted in Iznik, a town in western Anatolia renowned for its ceramics. Listen to your guide talk about the 6 minarets adorned with intricate carvings, and marvel at the traditionally designed main domes and secondary domes.

Echoes of History at Basilica Cistern

Skip the long queues to discover the awe-inspiring 6th-century Byzantine artworks at Istanbul's ancient Basilica Cistern on a guided tour. The 336 pillars inside this reservoir are embellished with elaborate engravings, and the carved heads of Medusa resting at the base of the pillars add a haunting touch to the cistern's beauty. Learn more about the Basilica Cistern's stunning artworks and engineering feats from your guide, which are a testament to the ancient world's artistry and ingenuity.
