Description

Explore the Blue Mosque, famous for its blue tiles and striking domes. See its six towering minarets and spacious courtyard, along with the mosque's beautiful interior features and designs. Enjoy the calm atmosphere and learn about its rich history from your guide, who will point out important details, including the mihrab and the main dome.

After the mosque, use your tickets to enter the Basilica Cistern, an ancient underground site, built in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian. Walk on wooden paths above clear water, reflected on the columns – and don’t miss the mysterious Medusa heads, repurposed as column bases! Feel the unique ambiance of the space and hear stories from the Byzantine era.
