ISTANBUL STUDY TOUR APRIL 2 – 14, 2021 TOUR LEADER: DR JENNIFER LAWLESS

Overview Istanbul’s strategic location straddling two continents at the end of the Silk Road linking East and West has made it one of the great cities of the world, brimming with beautiful religious and historical sites. When the Roman Emperor Constantine founded his great city on the Bosphorus in 330AD, it was to be the ‘New Rome’. Throughout the Middle Ages it was Constantinople, not the decaying cities of Western Europe, which kept alive the traditions and maintained at least some of the great wealth of the ancient world. This 13-day study tour goes well beyond the typical tourist destinations and into the heart of this ancient city. Staying in historic Sultanahmet at the well-located Blue House Hotel, we explore the extraordinary history, art and architecture of Classical and Byzantine Constantinople and Ottoman Istanbul. Travel to Çanakkale for two nights and spend a full day exploring Gallipoli with excursions to Troy and Iznik. The tour provides you with extensive background lectures and the expert guidance of Dr Jenny Lawless, with guided visits of museums and galleries, and a sequence of historical walking tours to bring the city and its history to life. The tour takes you beyond the main sights of Istanbul, to explore some of its less well-visited modern neighbourhoods on the Asian side with the opportunity to mingle with the locals in the city’s vibrant restaurants and experience the thriving music scene. In addition, the itinerary is designed to provide you with time for independent sightseeing and to undertake optional activities with the tour leader.

Your tour leader Dr Jennifer Lawless has led tours to Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Crete and Iran. Her main interest in travel is history, both ancient and more recent history such as the experiences of Australians at Gallipoli. Other cultures – and in particular their food and wine - also rate!

Jennifer has co-authored over ten books on ancient history that are widely used in senior history classes

and has been awarded a number of scholarships and awards for writing and research, including a Churchill Fellowship, an Endeavor Research Fellowship for Turkey, and a NSW Premier’s Award for History. Jennifer has lectured in history teaching methods at Sydney, Macquarie and Western Sydney universities and was the Board of Studies History Inspector for 13 years.

Study Tours Academy Travel study tours are designed to provide in-depth intellectual stimulation. The tours feature regular background lectures, morning site visits and several free afternoons for individual exploration or optional visits with the tour leader. Compared to other Academy Travel tours, study tours include longer walking tours, require more independence and use local public transport for short journeys within the city.

Tour Themes

BYZANTINE ISTANBUL Discover Byzantium, the city transformed by Emperor Constantine in 330AD to be the new capital of the Roman Empire due to its unique strategic position straddling the Bosphorus between Europe and Asia. Constantinople became the centre for Christian and Greek culture as reflected in its wealth of great architectural monuments such as the Hagia Sophia, the hippodrome and Basilica Cistern. OTTOMAN ISTANBUL Trace 450 years of the rise of the magnificent Ottoman Empire, following the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453. The city was quickly transformed from a Christian to an Islamic culture, undergoing a renaissance of artistic and architectural greatness under the Sultanate of Suleiman the Magnificent, whose chief architect Sinan constructed iconic grand mosques throughout the empire

COSMOPOLITAN ISTANBUL Explore Istanbul’s less visited areas and gain insight into the modern city where the locals shop, eat, play and relax away from the main tourist areas. Enjoy Turkish coffee and sweets in the bustling produce market in Kadiköy on the Asian shore, explore prime Bosphorus waterfront areas in Ortaköy and spend a day relaxing on the traffic-free island of Heybeliada.

CULTURAL ISTANBUL Understand Turkey’s wealth of history, culture and art with visits to Istanbul’s incredible array of significant cultural sites and most important museums. Explore the Hagia Sophia with its crowning dome, the fully operational Blue Mosque, superbly decorated with Iznik tiles, the glorious frescoes at the Church of St Saviour in Chora, Topkapi Palace’s Harem and the Archaeological Museum’s early antiquities.

GALLIPOLI AUSTRALIAN WAR HISTORY Gallipoli has a special place in the heart and minds of Australians. Our visit to the peninsula and Lone Pine Memorial highlights its important place in our history. We learn how the tales of courage and despair from the ill-fated landing at ANZAC Cove in 1915 have become an intrinsic part of our enduring culture of mateship and egalitarianism that formed the basis for an emerging nation.

Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D.

Friday 2 April Arrival and Orientation

The tour commences at the hotel in Istanbul in the afternoon. Meet your tour leader and fellow travellers in the lobby of the hotel for an orientation walk through Sultanahmet, the area where our hotel is located. We explore the hippodrome, the centre of Byzantine life for 1000 years, before an introductory talk in our hotel, followed by a welcome dinner in a local Turkish restaurant. Overnight Istanbul (D)

Saturday 3 April Around the Golden Horn

This morning we travel by the tram across the Bosphorus Galata Tower. The nine-story medieval tower was built by the Genoese in 1348 during an expansion of the colony. The upper balcony affords spectacular 360-degree views of the city. We then drop into the prestigious Pera Palace Hotel established in 1892 to accommodate passengers from the Orient Express staying in Istanbul. Enjoy tea and cake in the Art Nouveau style French patisserie or something stronger in the Orient bar frequented by guests such as Hemingway, Mata Hari and Agatha Christie who supposedly wrote Murder on the Orient Express in Room 411. This afternoon we board a cruise on the Bosphorus and around the Golden Horn which provides a strategic viewpoint into Istanbul’s great monuments from a different perspective. We return to the old city where we wander through the vibrant spice bazaar. Overnight Istanbul (B)

Sunday 4 April Early history

Istanbul has a long history dating back to Thracian tribes in 3000BC and is mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his historical accounts. This morning we explore its early history through a survey of the Istanbul Archaeological Museum. Its rich collection of antiquities housed over three buildings includes ancient pre-Islamic artefacts, classical statuary and the Istanbul Through the Ages exhibition which traces the city’s history through different periods from Archaic to Ottoman. This afternoon we visit the Great Palace Mosaic Museum housing Byzantine mosaics unearthed at the site of the Great Palace of Constantinople. Overnight Istanbul (B)

monday 5 April Byzantine Constantinople

Our day begins with a descent under the streets of Sultanahmet to witness the sheer grandeur of the subterranean Basilica Cistern followed by a visit to the beautiful Hagia Sophia, considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. Constructed as a church on the orders of Emperor Justinian, the Hagia Sophia was the religious focal point of the Eastern Church for nearly 1000 years before it was converted into a mosque following the fall of Constantinople in 1453. It is now a museum. In contrast, the Blue Mosque, built in the early 17th century and named for 20,000 handmade blue Iznik tiles decorating the interior, is an active mosque which boasts six minarets rather than the standard four. This afternoon takes us to the Church of St Saviour in Chora, originally a medieval Greek Orthodox church and now a museum preserving its glorious 14th-century mosaics and frescoes, evidence of a late flowering of Byzantine art. Overnight Istanbul (B)

Tuesday 6 April The Ottoman period

Topkapi Palace was home to the Ottoman sultans from the 15th to the early 19th century when the court was moved to Dolambahçe Palace. Even after the move, the palace served as the reliquary for the Royal Treasure, Holy Relics of the Prophet as well as hosting some state ceremonies. Following the abolition of the monarchy, Kemal Attaturk had the palace converted into a museum. Today we are able to wander through the various courtyards, buildings and pavilions that served as the residence of the sovereign and court employees which now house important collections of precious objects and works of art including the Harem and the Treasury. This afternoon we head to the Military Museum, chronicling a long and distinguished history of Ottoman military tradition, to see their fine collection of weapons, uniforms and tools from the Ottoman era to World War I. During our visit we see the Janissary Band, wearing traditional military uniforms, perform a concert of marching music used extensively in Ottoman military campaigns. Overnight Istanbul (B)

Wednesday 7 April Grand Bazaar and Museum of Turkish & Islamic Art

Today we immerse ourselves in the colour and chaos of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, initiated by the Sultan after the conquest of Constantinople to stimulate the economy through the trade of textiles and jewellery. Today, the vast covered market of over 60 lanes is home to over 4000 vendors employing 26,000 people. Haggling is compulsory as you explore the labyrinth of shops selling antiques, jewellery, textiles and carpets but there are also plenty of cafes to take a break from the sensory overload. The afternoon is spent at the Museum of Turkish and Islamic art, an impressive repository of Islamic religious art, illuminated Korans, and calligraphy from Ottoman periods. There is also an ethnographic section, hand-

woven Anatolian carpets and wall tiles and intricate woodcarvings from the Selcuk era. Overnight Istanbul (B)

Thursday 8 April Prince’s Island Ferry to Heybeliada

A relaxed day: we take a ferry across the Bosphorus to the Heybeliada in the Princes’ Islands. During the Byzantine and Ottoman eras, princes and other royalty were exiled here, hence the name. With no cars or motorised transport, the island offers a peaceful respite from busy Istanbul. We take a walking tour commencing at the Naval Cadet School through the pine groves and past the Victorian era cottages built by Istanbul’s wealthy as summer escapes. Relax over lunch on the waterfront before taking the ferry back to Istanbul in the afternoon. Overnight Istanbul (B, L)

Friday 9 April Troy

We depart Istanbul today for Çanakkale on the Asian side of the Dardanelles, the legendary and strategically important strait connecting the Mediterranean with the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. We visit Troy, one of civilization’s most celebrated archaeological sites. Immortalised by Homer, the site was first excavated by Heinrich Schliemann in the late 19th century. While the site was generally accepted to be the city of Troy, this was not actually confirmed until 2011 when researchers used a combination of geology, literary refence and topography to identify the site. We also encounter 4000 years of history at the newly opened Troy Museum. Overnight Çanakkale (B, D)

Saturday 10 April Gallipoli

We spend the day exploring Gallipoli in the company of local guide Kenan Celik OAM, a world expert on the Gallipoli Campaign and World War I. Our itinerary includes the moving sites of Anzac Cove, the remnants of trenches and the Battle of Gallipoli Museum, Lone Pine Memorial, the Nek, Quinns Post and the Cemetery. Overnight Çanakkale (B, PL)

Sunday 11 April Return to Istanbul

The morning is at leisure to explore the town of Çanakkale before we return to Istanbul. Overnight Istanbul (B)

Monday 12 April Kadiköy

This morning we cross the Bosphorus to the Asian side of Istanbul and explore the lively area of modern Kadiköy, on the site of ancient Chalcedon, seat of the fourth ecumenical council of the Christian Church in 451. The Kadiköy Pazari market is a showcase of fresh produce popular with locals. We explore the stalls teeming with fresh fish, fruits, vegetables and honey, sampling Anatolian specialities, Turkish coffee and tasting the

dazzling array of lokum (Turkish delight). We visit the Commonwealth Military Cemetery, primarily with burials from the Crimean War. There are also graves of six Australians who served in World War I and a monument to Florence Nightingale. Overnight Istanbul (B)

tuesday 13 april DolambahÇe Palace

Today we visit the Dolambahçe Palace built by the 31st Ottoman Sultan, Abdülmecid, which served as the administrative centre of the Empire until 1922. The Palace is divided into three main sections: the State Apartments for the conduct of administrative affairs; the Ceremonial Hall; for greeting dignitaries and important state ceremonies, and the Harem, the private residence of the Sultan and his family. A blend of European architectural styles and Ottoman influences, the lavishly furnished rooms feature handmade parquetry floors carved from rosewood, ebony and mahogany. The piece de resistance is the world’s largest Bohemian Crystal chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria. As tonight is our final evening in Istanbul we come together for a farewell dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Istanbul (B, D)

wednesday 14 april Depart

The tour concludes after breakfast in the hotel. Passengers who have booked their international flights through Academy Travel will be provided with a transfer to the airport. (B)
