Take this opportunity to explore some of the finest treasures Istanbul has to offer,.from the magnificent domed nave of the Haghia Sophia to the majestic remains of the 1500 year-old Theodosian walls, from the exquisite mosaics of the Chora Church to the Greek Orthodox churches of the Bosphorus and Fener,

Against a stunning backdrop of monuments, churches, palaces and sacred springs, the history, culture, art and religion of the Byzantines are presented and explained.
