The Ancient Hippodrome was the scene of chariot races, with three monuments; the Obelisk of Theodosius, the bronze Serpentine Column, and the Column of Constantine. Then we will visit SULTANAHMET IMPERIAL MOSQUE. It was built in the 16th century by the architect Mehmet and is known as the "Blue Mosque" because of its magnificent interior decoration of blue Iznik tiles. Our next stop will be HAGIA SOPHIA GRAND MOSQUE. The Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, previously known as the Church of Divine Wisdom, is simply the best of its kind! The Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque is the greatest surviving example of Byzantine architecture. For 1000 years, it was once the largest church in the world, decorated with stunning 6th century golden mosaics. Today, it is a mosque. At 13:00 p.m., there will be a lunch break. After the lunch, TravelShop Group will take you to the beautiful souvenir shops ASIL EFENDI for a unique atmosphere and reasonable prices for your shopping. Here you will find: exotic spices and herbs, Turkish Baklava, delicious fresh Turkish delights, Turkish coffee, nuts and fruits, souvenirs such as ceramic handicrafts, Evil Eyes totems, all-natural olive oil, soaps and many other goods in souvenir shops and stores.

After breakfast, drive to Antalya Old City (Kaleiçi), Marina, Clock Tower, Hadrian's Gate, Broken Minaret, Hidirlik Tower: Kaleici is a small historic part of Antalya's modern city, also known as the Old City of Antalya. In history, it was once a sprawling modern Roman town, then the Byzantine Empire, then the Seljuks, and finally the Ottoman Turkish town. The Hadrian's Gate (or Hadrianus Gate or The Three Gates) is a triumphal arch that was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian. Antalya's broken wonder is the Broken Minaret of the Korkut Mosque, which itself was originally built as a Roman temple in the 2nd century AD, and thus did not have a minaret at all. Hidirlik Tower is a landmark tower of tawny stone in Antalya, Turkey, where Kaleiçi meets Karaalioglu Park. It is believed to have been built in the Hellenistic era on a square plan and later turned into a circular tower in the 2nd century AD, and was used as either a fortification or a lighthouse in the past. We have lunch at the hotel and then depart for Duden Waterfalls. All the streams of the region aim at finding their way into the Mediterranean, and they pour down the slopes of the Taurus, sometimes overland, sometimes underground, and reach their destination, resulting in lovely waterfalls, of which there are more than twenty. Return to the hotel after the tour, and the rest of the day is yours. Overnight in Antalya.
