Ideal Indian School (IIS) recently organised an educational tour of historical sites of Istanbul, Turkey. A team of 43 students escorted by four teachers returned after an exciting, four-day educational tour as a part of the school curriculum.
The trip took them to the Topkapi Palace and the Sultanhamet Mosque. The Hagia Sophia Museum fascinated the students, as the monument showcases the age-old history of Istanbul.
A ferry-ride took them to the Prince’s Islands, in the Marmara, a few kilometres from the Bostanci shore on the Asian side and twenty kilometres from the historic peninsula.
The tour party returned after having traversed a land with a rich history and a heritage maintained intact even in the midst of modern development.
