After breakfast, the tour will depart for a gorgeous Istanbul City Tour. The first stop is the Topkapi Palace; the great palace of the Ottoman Sultans from the 15th to the 19th centuries. At the same time, it houses an exquisite collection of crystal, silver, and Chinese porcelain, robes worn by the sultans and their families, the famous jewels of the imperial treasury, miniatures, and the holy mantle, enshrining relics of the Prophet Mohammed.
The second stop of the tour is Sultanahmet Square, where the Sultanahmet Imperial Mosque salutes the Hagia Sophia. The Sultanahmet Imperial Mosque, which was built in the 16th century by the architect Mehmet, is also known as the Blue Mosque because of its magnificent interior decoration of blue Iznik tiles. Next, the tour will explore the Hippodrome; the site of ancient chariot races, and the home of three ancient monuments; the Obelisk of Theodosius, the bronze Serpentine Column, and the Column of Constantine. When you reach the other end of the Hippodrome, the Hagia Sophia Mosque will meet you with all its grandeur.

The area is among the best trekking places in Turkey. Deer and trout production farms are also in the area. Fishing is available in Yedigoller between April 1st and September 1st. 
We will then have some lunch and depart for Abant Lake. Abant is surrounded by pine trees and is probably one of the most famous lakes in Turkey. Water lilies embellish the surface in summer. It is also famous for its trout. The countryside is pleasantly different each season, making it a very special place for photography. The seven-kilometer walk around the lake offers a great opportunity to enjoy the area.
