Tour overview

Step back in time with a private full-day excursion to İznik (ancient Nicaea) — one of Turkey’s most historically significant towns, known as the meeting point of the First and Seventh Ecumenical Councils. Once a major Byzantine center and later an important Ottoman city, İznik is filled with remarkable architectural and cultural heritage.

Your journey begins with a comfortable early-morning departure from Istanbul in a private air-conditioned vehicle accompanied by your professional licensed guide. Enjoy picturesque countryside views as you travel via ferry across the Marmara Sea and continue toward İznik.

Throughout the day, discover mosaics, ancient city walls, Ottoman mosques, and traditional ceramic workshops — all in a relaxed, private setting tailored to your pace.
