After visiting the German Fountain, one of the most beautiful examples of the Neo Byzantine style, we will visit the Blue Mosque, one of the most magnificent structures built by the Ottomans. Our next stop will be Hagia Sophia with its charming atmosphere. After discovering all the details of Hagia Sophia, we will finish our tour.
