    Istanbul, Turkey
    • Istanbul, Turkey
    Depart the ship in Istanbul, a magical city of bejeweled buildings, sultans, Silk Road intrigue, and a mouthwatering foodie scene. Begin where Istanbul began, in the historic heart of the city. Back in the day, chariots used to race here at the Hippodrome, cheered on by thousands of fans. You can still see the footprint of the track and the exquisite artworks that used to decorate the infield. The Blue Mosque will dazzle you with its blue Iznik tiles and colorful stained glass, and Ayasofya Mosque with its vast size, soaring dome, and sunlit interior. But it's Topkapi Palace that brings Istanbul's romantic history of sultans, harems, and exotic lifestyles to life. Search for mementos at the Grand Bazaar - handicrafts, oriental carpets, and rare jewels are just a few possibilities. (Overnight at the Pera Palace Hotel is included.); Please note: Modest attire is required; when visiting the Ayasofya Mosque, knees, shoulders, and midriffs must be covered and women must cover their head with a scarf, provided at the Mosque. Shoes must be removed and shoe bags will be provided for the visit. There is ongoing restoration of the Topkapi Palace, which may result in some exhibits being closed. Professional photography and flash are not allowed. All tours in the Old Town require considerable walking, as it is closed to traffic. ...
