Start by visiting the ornate residence of the sultans of the past, the Topkapi Palace. Marvel at its incredible architecture and opulent décor as your guide introduces you to the history of the Ottoman empire. Continue to Hagia Sophia, one of Istanbul’s most renowned structures that dominates the Golden Horn’s skyline. Enter this majestic complex and feel immediately in awe of its sheer grandeur and beauty. Take in the intricate mosaics and tiling and let your guide explain how Hagia Sophia is an architectural reflection of the city’s fascinating past. Next, explore the underground Basilica Cistern, the largest of the several hundred reservoirs built beneath the city to provide its inhabitants with water. Stroll through the dim colonnades and keep an eye out for the Medusa heads proudly guarding this ancient technological wonder.

    Your next stop today is the Blue Mosque. Head inside and be amazed at its glorious interior and the iconic blue Iznik tiling that earned the mosque its name. Continue to the nearby Hippodrome for a glimpse at what used to be the hub of the local civic life centuries ago. Transfer to the Chora Church, one of the most splendid examples of Byzantine architecture in Istanbul.

Meet your private guide for a half-day orientation tour of the city, taking in the sites and neighborhoods that have shaped the unique character of Athens over several millennia.

  8. Day 8 SANTORINI

    Treasures and Pleasures

    Santorini’s picturesque countryside is best experienced in the late afternoon and early evening, as the waning daylight gives way to the “golden hour” and offers a striking visual contrast against the iconic whitewashed backdrop of Oia. Meet with your private guide and driver and head into the Santorini countryside to discover the island’s picturesque villages. Start with a visit to Mesa Gonia, a village of rolling vineyards and a major wine-producing region. The village is home to the majestic Byzantine church of Panagia Episkopi. Continue to Pyrgos, a hilltop town that served as the island’s capital until the early 19th century. The village offers panoramic views of the island in every direction and has charming medieval architecture.

    Next, visit Imerovigli, a village guarded by the enormous Skaros rock at the entrance to the village. A fortress used to sit atop Skaros rock, protecting the village from pirates but was destroyed by years of earthquakes. End your evening with a visit to the village of Oia, set upon the caldera’s cliffs. Oia marks the dramatic backdrop to a world-famous sunset. Its narrow passageways throng with people each evening to catch a glimpse of the sun going down. The most popular spot to watch the sunset is by the Kastro walls. At the end of your visit, return to your hotel by private vehicle.
