Marmaris Istanbul Day Trip By Plane

If you are already vacationing in Marmaris, but you would like to see something more of what Turkey  has to offer, you should definitely visit one of our most prominent cities – Istanbul with our Marmaris Istanbul Day Trip.  If you are taken aback by the distance between Marmaris and Istanbul, don’t worry. We have taken care of everything. Our great journey starts with a transport from your hotel to the airport where you will board the plane to Istanbul. The flight lasts for just 45 minutes, and both hotel transfers, entrance fees, guiding services and the airplane tickets are included in the price.

Istanbul is truly a fascinating city and one of the features that makes it unique is the fact that it’s built on two continents, Europe and Asia. Keeping that in mind it is no wonder that this beautiful city is known for its versatility in architecture, art, culture, and people in general. With 14 million people this glorious city is also the biggest city of Turkey, and one of the largest cities in the world. This lovely city is also spread on both sides of Bosporus. Istanbul basically presents a bridge over the narrow channel between the Black and the Marmara Sea, connecting Europe and Asia.

One of the first places we’ll visit while in Istanbul is the Blue Mosque. This wonderful mosque is also known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque and it is one of the most impressive Ottoman mosques in the country. The construction of this majestic mosque was ordered by Sultan Ahmet l. The mosque was designed to complement the strength of that of Hagia Sophia, which stands across Sultanahmet Square, facing the Blue Mosque. The Mosque consists of the central dome surrounded by four smaller half-domes, and four pillars known as “elephant foot” which support the whole construction. Most visitors that don’t enter the mosque would probably find the name of the mosque mind-boggling, but once you enter the name Blue Mosque seems like a logical one.

The interior of this stunning mosque is decorated with more then 20,000 handcrafted Iznik tiles, which feature numerous flowers decorations such as roses, tulips, lilies, carnations and more. The mosque is all the more captivating because it has 260 windows that lit the already gorgeous space perfectly. This wonderful mosque isn’t just for show, it is a working mosque as well, so it is closed for tourists while the prayer time lasts. We also advise all of our travelers to dress respectively, but if someone forgets, shawls and other covering garments will be handed at the entrance if needed.

In Marmaris Istanbul Day Trip, we will also be visiting one of the symbols of the city of Istanbul and that is the Topkapi Palace. Topkapi Palace was constructed in 1461 on top of the most visible hill which overlooks the city. The Palace’s construction was ordered by Mehmet the Conqueror, and once it was built it became a political home of the rulers of the Ottoman Empire. It remained a political base until Sultan Abdulmecid l in 1853. Topkapi Palace hosted 22 Sultans during the four centuries in between. These days Topkapi Palace is a museum, and for that matter it is the most visited museum in Turkey.

Every year about three million people visits this great Palace. People come to see numerous treasured things like the famous 86 carat, Spoonmaker’s Diamond, which is the fifth largest diamond in the world. What makes this diamond all the more interesting is the story of how it was found. The fisherman who found it thought it was a piece of glass, so he traded it at the market for three spoons, and thus the name – Spoonmaker’s Diamond.

One of our visits is also Spice Bazaar, also known as the Egyptian Bazaar. This charming bazaar is the most colorful and vibrant of all Istanbul’s bazaars. It was constructed in 1664 as an integral part of complex of the New Mosque. This marvelous bazaar offers pretty much any spice that you could think of. We often advise our clients to buy the spices which are typical for Tukey, so they have something to remind them of the taste of our authentic kitchen when they get home. Spices like pul biber, sumac and Nigella seeds are quite characteristic for our country so you might want to take those home with you. The bazaar also features numerous teas, herbal remedies, dried fruits, olive oil soaps, honey and numerous kinds of Turkish delights.

Once Marmaris Istanbul Day Trip is over, we will drive back to the airport for a flight to Marmaris. Our driver will be waiting at the Marmaris airport to take you back to your respective hotels in the city.
