Chora Mosque Skip the Line Ticket, Kariye Istanbul Admission

About this tour

The Chora Mosque, known in Turkiye as Kariye, began as part of a Byzantine monastery back in the 4th century and has served as a church, a mosque, and a museum over the centuries. Today it holds some of the best-preserved Byzantine mosaics and frescoes you'll find anywhere, illustrating scenes from the Bible in gold and rich color. This ticket gets you admission and lets you skip the ticket line, so you spend your time looking at the artwork rather than waiting outside. It's a compact site where Christian and Islamic history sit side by side under one roof.
