Optional – Istanbul by Night (EUR 35/person)

For those wishing to discover Istanbul’s evening atmosphere from the first day, Pro Travel offers a spectacular panoramic tour:

Çamlıca Mosque

Located on one of the city’s highest hills, the mosque offers an impressive view of Istanbul, illuminated at night like a necklace of lights between Europe and Asia. It is the best place for broad panoramas and memorable photographs.

Ortaköy Mosque

Standing on the shore of the Bosphorus, the mosque is a symbol of Ottoman elegance. Here you are greeted by the sound of the waves, the lights of the Bosphorus Bridge and a romantic atmosphere. The small square around it is always lively, with cafés, street food and local artisans.

Taksim Square

The modern heart of Istanbul. From shops and restaurants to street performers and historic buildings, Taksim pulses with energy at every hour. Illuminated and always lively, İstiklal Street offers one of the city’s most beautiful urban walks.

This optional tour is the perfect complement to the first day, giving you direct contact with the pulse of the city before the cultural and historical programme of the following days.

After the excursion to ViaSea Aquarium, Lion Park and Via Port Marina, return to the hotel and enjoy free time to rest, prepare for the New Year’s Eve celebration or explore Istanbul independently.
