Chora Church is not a place to rush through.
It is a monument that must be explained, decoded, and understood.
This private guided tour is designed for travelers who want meaning, not memorized facts — led by a licensed professional guide with a historian’s knowledge and genuine passion for Byzantine art and Christianity.
Chora Church (Kariye) contains over 110 mosaics and frescoes, carefully arranged to tell the full Christian story — from the genealogy of Christ to Resurrection and eternal life.
On this tour, the mosaics are explained in their correct narrative order, revealing:
Why each scene exists
How stories connect to one another
How Theodore Metochites used art to teach Christianity
The hidden symbolism most visitors never notice
This is not a surface-level visit.
It is a guided interpretation.
