Do not get confused - this is Not the Basilica Cistern

Julie_W, Apr 2026

I was not the only one who made the mistake and confused it with the Basilica Cistern (also poor redirect from Viator to the local tour office) - it is 1/10 the size and the audio is not worth it. Definitely worth doing the Basilica Cistern instead

Not what I was expecting,...

The cistern is...
