Hagia Irene Tours and Activities

Throughout its various incarnations as a church, an Orthodox cathedral, a mosque, and a museum, this magnificent structure has dominated Istanbul's skyline.

You can browse the exhibits at Istanbul Archaeology Museums, a museum with a story of its own, during your travels to Istanbul. Stroll along the seaside or visit the shops in the area.

Admire a vast array of artefacts as you explore this magnificent palace in the Old City, home to the Ottoman sultans for around 400 years.

Visit the Sunken Palace, the city's largest and most impressive Byzantine underground reservoir, for a tourist experience unique to Istanbul.

The Marmara Sea lies north and Topkapi Palace looms just east of this shady public park, which features colourful rose beds and wide sea views.

You can learn about the history of Istanbul with a stop at Aya İrini. Add the area's stunning cathedral or shops to your travel plans.
