What awaits you

Secrets of the “literary hotel” and Agatha Christie
We will take a walk through the ancient Beyoglu district in the European part of Istanbul. Let's immerse ourselves in the lively atmosphere of Taksim Square and visit the Pera Palace Hotel, imbued with luxury and the spirit of the 19th century. I will tell you for whom it was built and which famous personalities lived in it. And also: what room did Agatha Christie stay in and what popular detective novel did she start writing here? I will also reveal juicy facts about the writer’s life in Istanbul. You will find out what love stories happened to her in Turkey and how she managed to save her marriage.

Greek Church, Flower Arcade and Galata Tower
You'll explore the late Byzantine-style Greek Church of the Holy Trinity and visit the elegant Flower Arcade on the pedestrian Istiklal Street. In addition, climb the Galata Tower and admire the magnificent panorama of Istanbul from above. The tour will end at Sirkeci Station, from which the legendary Orient Express still leaves to this day, where the action of one of Agatha Christie’s most famous novels takes place.
