LUNCH
Topkapi Museum is the biggest one...the most important museum of Turkey and the Balkan Peninsula. It's an incomparably rich treasure-chest, brimming with things of historical importance. The snag is that you can't see for looking both because of the embarrassment of riches and the sheer size of the place (the Palace area covers 80 acres - set off in the wrong direction and you have to walk three times too far).
Topkapi Palace:
The great palace of the Ottoman sultans from the 15th to the 19th centuries housing an exquisite collection of cyrstal, silver, and Chinese porcelain, robes worn by the sultans and their families, the famous jewels of the Imperial Treasury, miniatures, the Holy Mantle; enshrining relics of the Prophet Mohammed.
* Treasury and Harem sections in Topkapi Palace are not included in the program and are due to extra entry.
SULTANS TOMBS
there are five tombs of Ottoman Sultans within the graveyard at St. Sophia. The ceramic panels are the most beautiful examples of the 16th century with purple, green, blue, and red flower motives. Prince robes and a small piece from the Kaaba covers are displayed on the sarcophaguses. (Sultans Tombs closed on Monday, replaced with Little Hagia Sophia Mosque)
