We visited the CHora Church museum on a day trip with a driver and a rented car which also included a trip to the Walls around Istanbul, a visit to the Aqueduct and a trip across the bridge linking Europe to Asia. Because we had a rented car, our driver knew where it was and we had an easy visit.... More

Great visit especially for orthodox christians.... The mosaic are amazing , very good rule for the big groups to use headphones as mandatory. Recommend for everyone to visit.

Do not miss this treasure...some of the best Byzantine frescoes and mosaics we have ever seen! Accessible by bus!

Not on the tramway but so worth seeing, this small Byzantine church has the most amazing mosaics. Take a taxi and spend an hour here!

took us a bit to get there... tram metro and then a walk...but the small understated church was quite lovely... a little hard to find...plan ahead
