We are setting off towards Istanbul, picking up our dear guests from the boarding points above. We will get off our vehicle at Taksim. The first place we will see is the famous Pera Palace (from the outside). Here, after getting information from our guide and taking photographs, we will head towards the Galata Tower. After getting information from our guide about the tower, which has been used for various purposes for centuries, we will go up the tower, enjoy the magnificent Istanbul view and take our photographs. Then we will head to the 500th Anniversary Jewish Museum and the Neve Shalom Synagogue. After getting information here about Jewish heritage and history, we will head to Serdar-ı Ekrem street, one of the most beautiful streets of Galata. After listening to our guide about the important buildings and apartments here, we will head to the Crimean English Church. Following our church visit, we will head to the famous Kamondo stairs. Then we will see and photograph the British Naval Hospital from the outside. Afterwards, we will head to the Tailors' Ashkenazi Synagogue, which today serves as the Schneidertemple Arts Center. After our visit here, we will descend to Karaköy. The first thing we will see is the mosaics of Bedri Rahmi Eyüpoğlu. Then, admiring the beautiful architecture by Alexandre Vallaury, we will visit the Yeraltı Mosque, the place where the great Golden Horn chain was once attached and which today serves as a mosque. Afterwards, we will head towards the French Passage. Then we will see the Russian Roof Churches. After seeing the Turkish Orthodox Church, we will visit the Kılıç Ali Pasha Mosque and Bath. Then we will head to Galataport, the open-air shopping center. After enjoying tea and coffee here, we will board our vehicle and begin the return journey. We take leave of our dear guests, dropping them off at the points where we picked them up, hoping to see you again in another GNR Turizm organization.

Guide Advice
Since we will generally be walking at sightseeing locations, we recommend that you come prepared and dress according to seasonal conditions (fleece/sweater, hat, sunglasses, raincoat, etc.). Prefer layered clothing (you may sweat while walking and feel cold when stopped). Your shoes should be suitable for walking (dirt, rock, mud, water, etc.). High-top boots or sports shoes are recommended, and you should have a small backpack (your hands should be free while walking). Be sure to bring spare clothing, socks, and shoes. We are happy to host you on our tours.
