Day 1


Αθήνα - Κωνσταντινούπολη

Αθήνα - Κωνσταντινούπολη

Istanbul

Συνάντηση στο αεροδρόμιο Ελ. Βενιζέλος και πτήση για την Κωνσταντινούπολη, πρωτεύουσα δύο Αυτοκρατοριών. Είτε πρώτη φορά τη βλέπουμε, να αγκαλιάζει τις όχθες του Βοσπόρου και να γεφυρώνει Ασία και Ευρώπη, είτε την έχουμε επισκεφτεί πολλές φορές, η συγκίνησή μας είναι ίδια, συγκίνηση που δεν μας προκαλεί καμιά άλλη πόλη στον κόσμο. Μετά την προσγείωση, μεταφερόμαστε στο ξενοδοχείο, τακτοποίηση στα δωμάτια μας. Η υπόλοιπη μέρα είναι ελεύθερη. Διανυκτέρευση.

Day 2


Κωνσταντινούπολη

Κωνσταντινούπολη

Istanbul

Μετά το πρόγευμα αναχωρούμε για την ξενάγηση της Πόλης. Ξεκινάμε με την επίσκεψη στον Ιππόδρομο με τους 3 υπέροχους οβελίσκους, όπου ακόμα θαρρείς και ακούγονται οι ιαχές των Πράσινων και των Βένετων. Μετά έχει σειρά το Μπλε Τζαμί και, βέβαια, η μοναδική, η θρυλική Αγία Σοφία, σήμερα Μουσείο, μάρτυρας όλων των ιστορικών σταθμών της μοίρας της Πόλης. Μετά θα επισκεφθούμε το Παλάτι – Μουσείο του Τοπ Καπί (όπου γυρίστηκε η ταινία του Ντασέν με τη Μελίνα), με τις θαυμάσιες συλλογές πολύτιμων λίθων και το χαρέμι του Σουλτάνου. Θα δούμε και τον ορθόδοξο ναό της Αγίας Ειρήνης, μέσα στον περίβολο του Παλατιού, που δυστυχώς είναι κλειστός για το κοινό. Κατόπιν θα επισκεφθούμε το Ιουστινιάνειο Υδραγωγείο της Πόλης, ένα έργο πρωτοποριακό στην εποχή που κατασκευάστηκε, και που οι χώροι του σήμερα χρησιμοποιούνται και για τελείως άσχετους με την αρχική του χρήση λόγους, όπως παρουσιάσεις βιντεοτέχνης στις Μπιενάλε της Κωνσταντινούπολης.

Θα ακολουθήσει μεσημεριανό προαιρετικό φαγητό. Και στη συνέχεια θα επισκεφθούμε την Κλειστή Αγορά του Καπαρλί Τσαρσί με τα 4.000 καταστήματα με δερμάτινα είδη, αλάβαστρα, είδη δώρων, χρυσαφικά και ασημικά, ξυλόγλυπτα, ρούχα, ξηρούς καρπούς, γυάλινα διακοσμητικά, μουσικά όργανα και ναργιλέδες, αντίκες, χειροποίητους τάπητες και ό,τι φανταστούμε. Απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση για να ψωνίσουμε εδώ είναι το … παζάρεμα!

Η ώρα έχει πάει 19:00, αλλά αν νομίζετε πως θα σας αφήσουμε για ξεκούραση κάνετε μεγάλο λάθος! Βλέπετε, είμαστε στην Πόλη, γι’ αυτό προτείνουμε για τη συνέχεια μια προαιρετική διασκέδαση σε μια παράσταση με ανατολίτικους χορούς και τραγούδια. Πού αλλού θα διασκεδάσουμε με ανατολίτικους σκοπούς και χορούς, αν όχι στην πόλη που χτυπάει η καρδιά της Ανατολής; Καλό και το δικό μας ...τσιφτετέλι, αλλά με τον Χορό της Κοιλιάς δεν συγκρίνεται!
