Private Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque Tour

Description

Discover the rich history and architectural marvels of Istanbul with our exclusive Private Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque Tour. Accompanied by your knowledgeable tour guide, delve into the fascinating stories behind the iconic Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

Our journey begins near the Blue Mosque, a masterpiece adorned with over 50 different handcrafted tile designs in vibrant colors. Learn about its construction between 1609 and 1617 by the Ottoman architect Mehmet Aga, a disciple of the renowned Mimar Sinan. Sinan's influence, seen in imperial mosques like the Suleymaniye in Istanbul and the Selimiye in Edirne, served as the foundation for the Blue Mosque.

Next, we visit the awe-inspiring Basilica of Saint Sophia, dedicated to Divine Wisdom. Marvel at the colossal dome, one of mankind's extraordinary achievements. The interior of Hagia Sophia is equally impressive, featuring expansive dimensions (70 by 74 meters), diffuse lighting, massive decorative medallions, and monolithic columns.

These two sites are not just landmarks but unique experiences, making our Private Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque Tour a must when exploring Istanbul.
