THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 – ISTANBUL


Read Galatians

This morning we will enjoy a full-day visit of Istanbul. We will visit the legendary Blue Mosque, decorated with beautiful 17th-century Iznik tiles. Then stroll around the historical Hippodrome where chariot races were held. Visit the underground Crusader Cisterns. Continue to St. Sophia, a Christian basilica built by Justinian in the 6th-century and converted to a mosque during the Ottoman Empire. See the beautiful mosaics on display in the museum. 
Continue to the Egyptian Spice Bazaar, used as the spice market since 1665.
