Istanbul Tour Description

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, located where Europe and Asia meet. It’s famous for its rich history, beautiful mosques, palaces, and lively bazaars. Once known as Byzantium and later Constantinople, it was the capital of both the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Today, Istanbul is a modern city full of culture, offering top sights like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and a scenic Bosphorus boat trip that connects two continents.

Blue Mosque

The Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Camii) is one of the most famous landmarks in Istanbul and a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture. Built in the early 1600s, it is known for its six elegant minarets and stunning blue Iznik tiles that decorate its interior. The mosque is still active for prayers but also open to visitors daily, attracting millions of tourists who admire its beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

Palace of Topkapi

The Palace of Topkapi is a historic royal complex in Istanbul that served as the main residence of Ottoman sultans for nearly 400 years. Built in the 15th century, it features magnificent courtyards, rich decorations, and collections of treasures, weapons, and sacred relics. Visitors can see the famous Harem, the Imperial Treasury, and stunning views of the Bosphorus from its terraces.

Bosphorus Boat trip 

The Bosphorus Boat Trip is one of the most popular activities in Istanbul, offering a scenic cruise between Europe and Asia. During the trip, you can see beautiful palaces, bridges, mosques, and historic waterfront mansions along the strait. It’s a relaxing way to enjoy the city’s skyline and understand why Istanbul is known as the meeting point of two continents. If you enjoy this kind of activity, you can also join our Belek boat tours, where you’ll sail through the Green Canyon, or  Manavgat River, or Mediterranean coast, combining nature, swimming, and sightseeing.

Roman Hippodrome

The Roman Hippodrome in Istanbul’s Sultanahmet Square was once the center of social and sporting life in ancient Constantinople. Built in the 3rd century, it hosted chariot races, public events, and imperial ceremonies. Today, visitors can see its historic monuments, including the Egyptian Obelisk, the Serpent Column, and the Column of Constantine, which stand as reminders of the city’s Roman and Byzantine past.

What is the distance between Belek and Istanbul?

The distance between Belek and Istanbul is approximately 708 km by road, but since the tour includes a domestic flight, the total travel time is very short. Transfers from Belek to Antalya Airport take about 30–40 minutes, followed by a 1-hour flight, and another short transfer to the historical center of Istanbul.

Is the Istanbul tour possible in one day?

Yes, the Belek to Istanbul tour is perfectly possible in one day. The early flight from Antalya allows you to spend a full day in Istanbul visiting the most famous attractions, then return by evening flight. It’s designed especially for tourists who want to see Istanbul’s highlights without staying overnight, making it one of the most popular cultural excursions from Belek.

Is it possible to join from Antalya, Side, or Alanya?

Yes. Travelers from Antalya city, Lara, Kemer, Side, or Alanya can also join the Istanbul day tour. We arrange pick-up and transfer services from all major hotels along the Antalya coast. The only difference may be the pickup time (a bit earlier or later depending on your hotel location).

Which airport in Istanbul do we arrive at?

Most flights from Antalya land at Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side, which is closer to the main historical area — Sultanahmet. Sometimes, depending on flight availability, the arrival may be at Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side, but transfers are always arranged accordingly, so your sightseeing schedule remains unchanged.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

If the flight is delayed or canceled due to weather or technical reasons, Belek Travel handles all rebooking and timing adjustments. We coordinate directly with the airline to reschedule your tour or provide a full refund if rescheduling isn’t possible. Your comfort and time are always prioritized, you won’t lose your money or your chance to see Istanbul.

What should I wear to visit the Blue Mosque?

The Blue Mosque is an active place of worship, so modest clothing is required:
Women should cover their heads with a scarf and wear clothes that cover shoulders and knees. Men should avoid shorts and sleeveless shirts. At the entrance, scarves and coverings are provided for free if needed. Shoes must be removed before entering (you’ll get a plastic bag to carry them). Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there’s a lot of walking during the tour.

What’s the best month to visit Istanbul?

Istanbul is beautiful year-round, but the best months are April, May, September, and October when the weather is mild, pleasant, and perfect for walking and sightseeing.
During summer (June–August), temperatures can reach 30–35°C, and winter (December–February) can be rainy or chilly, but tours still operate regularly throughout the year.

Guide Mehmet was great, but the day felt a bit crowded and rushed at times. Wish we had a bit more free time to walk around alone. Still a good trip, with tasty local food stops and clear explanations. Would recommend but maybe expect a busy day.
