Hagia Sofia

Hagia Sofia

The Hagia Sophia is an enormous architectural marvel in Istanbul, Turkey, that was originally built as a Christian basilica nearly 1,500 years ago. Much like the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Parthenon in Athens, the Hagia Sophia is a long-enduring symbol of the cosmopolitan city. However, as notable as the structure is itself, its role in the history of Istanbul—and, for that matter, the world—is also significant and touches upon matters related to international politics, religion, art and architecture.

The Hagia Sophia anchors the Old City of Istanbul and has served for centuries as a landmark for both Orthodox Christians and Muslims, as its significance has shifted with that of the dominant culture in the Turkish city.

Istanbul straddles the Bosporus strait, a waterway that serves as a geographic border between Europe and Asia

Take me to Turkiye has been great! They helped me find an amazing ophthalmologist who did my eye surgery. Couldn’t be happier with the results. I saved thousands compared to the cost in the USA

We had a wonderful experience visiting Turkiye. The team at “Take me to Turkiye” was great. Ismail was kind and patient with us. He helped us pick out a wonderful apartment in Turkiye and helped negotiate it to an amazing price. It has already gone up in value 30% in 1 year!

I sent my mom and sister to Turkey for a 2 week holiday. I was worried as they were traveling alone and had never been there before. They ended up having a great time! I felt at ease knowing someone trustworthy was there to pick them up from the airport and arranged all of their tours. They spent time in Istanbul and Antalya. They can’t wait to return! Thank you guys for the wonderful service!
