Istanbul Underground Cistern Excursion Reviews
Home > Member Reviews > Istanbul Shore Excursions > Underground Cistern
Also known as the “sunken palace,” the Underground Cistern is an erie, ancient architectural enclave filled with shimmering water. It was forgotten after the conquest of the city by the Ottoman Turks and wasn’t re-discovered until 1545.

Tour was fine but rushed. Will have to return. An amazing city, much cleaner than I expected. Very easy to get lost in Bazaar.

Part of another trip. This place is fascinating and actually fantastic when you are so hot!!! You go down about 50 steps and the columns and the water (complete with cod) are all lit up and quite moving. Well worth a visit

Quite amazing - a breath-taking feat of engineering. Look out for the huge fish and the carvings of Medusa!

The underground water system in Istanbul is FASCINATING and glorious to see. There are lit columns and Medusa's head (upside down), and this site should not be missed. We loved it!

This was the place I felt we were really rushed. With lots of visitors we didn't have enough time to take decent pictures. The Underground Cistern was the largest underground water reservoir in Istanbul built by Justinian I. Special lighting made the cistern even more beautiful. I loved listening to the legends associated with the cistern.
