Chora is a medieval Byzantine church and one of the world’s most revealing religious sites.

We have skip-the-line priority admission and avoid the main crowds. Make your way inside to see the bounty of ancient treasures: the marvel of Byzantine mosaics.

Hear about its history and imagine it filled with the locals of Medieval Constantinople. Take in the opportunity to learn how these mosaics were made in the first place.

Listen to Chora's history before and after it was converted into a mosque.

Pause to take photos of these fascinating mosaics and frescoes as you learn their history from your guide.

This was a great experience. It's a group tour, but I was the only person with the guide, which made it that much better. It's a small museum, so without a guide, I think you'd miss most of the details of the mosaics and frescos inside the old church. My guide was extremely knowledgeable, and I could tell he had a passion for the history. He was also helpful in getting me back to my hotel, recommending the boat taxi down the Sea of Marmara back to the Old Town.
