Ghost City istanbul Walking Tour
Overview
Beneath the sun-soaked streets and stunning architecture lies a darker side to istanbul. Descend deep below istanbul's centrum into a parallel city, a city that is more than 1500 years old. Stretching across an enormous area of former quarry and made up of an intricate series of tunnels, this macabre site is one of the most fascinating places you’ll visit during your stay in istanbul.
Explore the unknown side of this gigantic city. Lurking below the city’s ancient boulevards, public gardens, and museums, this mysterious sight has become one of istanbul’s unmissable tourist attractions.
Watch as these spine-chilling remains are brought back to life before your eyes, as your expert guide recants the tales of a Constantinople gone-by and a glorious past time wishes we remember again.
