Is it possible to get access to the blender interactive python shell from a terminal? I know I can start a python script with the the following command

blender --background --python script.py

But what i want is to get the actual shell that i can type in the terminal something like

>>> bpy.ops.active_object.mode
'OBJECT'

and get the result immediatly like in the normal python interactive shell

The solution is to start blender with --python-console, see the user manual for Python command line args.

Blender has a python console built-in, you can change any section of the blender layout to a console.

enter image description here

You can also find an addon here that lets you execute a text block in the python console.
