Christmas in Constantinople tour

Constantinople, once a brilliant capital of world power and an essential melting pot of cultures at the junction of Europe and Asia, today displays its imperial stature as seen in the magnificence of its churches, palaces and mosques. History is omnipresent in this spectacularly located metropolis on the shores of the Bosphorus, yet it is also has a vibrant living dynamic as seen in the bustle of its streets, in its nightlife and in its colourful bazaars. This tour, led by author, lecturer and classical scholar, George Hart, includes the cornerstone Christian and Islamic monuments of the city from our favoured base of the Armada Hotel in historic Sultanahmet.
