Istanbul is a city that perfectly blends past and present. Stroll through a sprawling metropolis to explore Turkish landmarks that are not to be missed - in particular, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace in the Sultanahmet district offer stunning architecture. Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles both Europe and Asia, and you'll be spoilt with tastes of both cultures in one place.

Affordable Istanbul Airport Transfers

The two airports that serve Istanbul are Istanbul Havalimani Airport (IST) and Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW). Drop-off locations are widely available throughout Istanbul, and into wider Turkey from both Istanbul Airports. In most cases, this can include your specific hotel.

Istanbul, Turkey

For history buffs, the province of Fatih (historically known as Constantinople) is at the heart of Istanbul and just over an hour and a half away; Fatih is home to the famous Grand Bazaar, the Valens Aqueduct, the Byzantine Palace of the Porphyrogenitus and much more.

Nestled in the Asian side of Istanbul, the cosmopolitan Kadiköy is an hour's transfer away and has plenty of bars, cinemas and bookshops to explore. In contrast, Beyoglu is on the European side of Istanbul and loved for its cafes, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and art galleries. In most cases, airport transfers are able to drop you off right outside your hotel so you can enjoy your trip as soon as possible!
