Hippodrome

30 minutes

The Hippodrome of Constantinople was a grand arena for chariot races, ceremonies, and public events, built in the 3rd century and expanded by Constantine I. It featured the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpent Column, and the Walled Obelisk on its central spina. A hub of Byzantine culture and power, it hosted celebrations and conflicts, like the Nika Riots. Its legacy endures despite its ruins today.

Seeing another side of Istanbul!

This custom tour was truly customized between my party and the guide, Salim Basar. He was open & accommodating to our requests for what to see within the timeframe we had for the day. We met at 9:30 AM and were together until almost 5:30 PM. Salim was full of great info to share at each location, and most open to answering any & all of our questions. We used public transportation with ease to move comfortably between locations. Highly recommend this tour as you can make it your own, thanks to the expertise & knowledge of our guide, Salim Basar.

All I can say is .... the wonderful custom experience which Salim provided us for (2) days was so educational, extraordinary and inspiring. Not only is Salim extremely knowledgeable as a guide, but funny and charming. This was an amazing start to a 2 week holiday.

Thank you Salim.
