Byzantine Hippodrome Tour: Entry with Guided Tour Ticket Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called the Hippodrome?
The hippodrome (Greek: ἱππόδρομος) was an ancient Greek stadium for horse racing and chariot racing. The name is derived from the Greek words hippos (ἵππος; "horse") and dromos (δρόμος; "course"). The term is used in the modern French language and some others, with the meaning of "horse racecourse".
Is there a dress code for the Hippodrome?
There is no set dress code, smart casual is what most people opt for unless it's a special occasion when customers go all out and dress to impress.
Can you take your own drinks into Hippodrome?
Mainly because the smell spoils the atmosphere for others inside the theatre. Obviously, we have products on sale inside at reasonable prices so you don't need to worry about bringing your own food or drink. If people had diary problems or just certain tastes, then we don't mind outside products being brought in.

The Hippodrome of Constantinople was an arena used for chariot racing throughout the Byzantine period.
