• See the "Topkapi Palace", the great palace of the Ottoman sultans from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The palace houses an exquisite collection of crystal, silver, and Chinese porcelain, the famous jewels of the Imperial treasury, miniatures, and the Holy Mantle, enshrining relics of the Prophet Mohammed.
• Next on the list is the Sultanahmet Mosque. Across from St. Sophia, built in the 16th century by the architect Mehmet, it is known as the "Blue Mosque" because of its magnificent interior decoration of blue Iznik tiles.

Overnight in Antalya. 

• Savour breakfast and head to see Antalya Old City (Kaleiç) Marina, Clock Tower, Hadrian's Gate, Broken Minaret, and Hıdırlık Tower. 
  • Kaleici is a small historic part of Antalya's modern city, also known as the Old City of Antalya. In the past, it was once the sprawling modern Roman town, then the Byzantine Empire, then Seljuks, and finally the Ottoman Turkish town. 
  • The Hadrian's Gate (or Hadrianus Gate or The Three Gates) is a triumphal arch which was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian. 
  • Antalya's broken wonder is the Broken Minaret of the Korkut Mosque, which itself was built originally as a Roman temple in the 2nd century AD, and thus did not have a minaret at all. 
  • Hıdırlık Tower is a landmark tower of tawny stone in Antalya, Turkey, where Kaleiçi meets Karaalioglu Park. It is believed to be built in the Hellenistic era on a square plan and later turned into a circular tower in the 2nd century AD and was either used as a fortification or a lighthouse in the past.
• Have lunch, then depart for Duden Waterfalls. All the streams of the region aim at finding their way into the Mediterranean, and they pour down the slopes of the Taurus, sometimes overland, sometimes underground.
