A Little About Istanbul
Istanbul, the only city that spans Europe and Asia, offers a wealth of attractions and activities that will captivate any traveller. Begin your adventure at the iconic Hagia Sophia, a stunning architectural masterpiece that has served as a cathedral, mosque, and now a museum. Nearby, you'll find the Blue Mosque, famed for its beautiful blue tiles and impressive domes. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, where you can purchase unique souvenirs, spices, and traditional Turkish goods. Delve into the city's rich history with a visit to the Topkapi Palace, the luxurious residence of Ottoman sultans, and explore its splendid courtyards and treasury. No trip to Istanbul is complete without a cruise on the Bosphorus, offering breathtaking views of the city's skyline and its iconic bridges. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or cuisine, Istanbul promises a vibrant and unforgettable holiday experience.
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!
