Half Day Tour: Meet with your guide and first we will visit the Genoese-built Galata Tower, which commands fine views of the Golden horn, Bosphorus and Old Istanbul. We continue to the Military Museum, where you may see armor, weapons, and displays of Turkish military uniforms from the ages, "Sayebanlar" (the summer war pavilions of the Sultans), part the original chain used to block off the Golden Horn during the siege of Istanbul in 1453. You may listen to a concert given by the colorful military "Mehter" Band. We transfer you back to your hotel or boat cruise or airport.
