Istanbul City Breaks

Istanbul View breaks >>

Situated on the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Istanbul is a fascinating and unique capital city sitting on the turquoise water front of Turkey. The old city lies in Europe and the modern city lies in Asia, divided by the Bosphorus Strait.

Istanbul is full of character and charm, from the fascinating historical churches, palaces, mosques and Byzantine ruins to the ultra modern boutiques, bars and restaurants. Istanbul is awash with old and new giving you an abundance of sights and attractions to see during the day, and in the evening, Istanbul really lights up.

At night the city swings into action with tourists and locals alike flock to the stylish clubs, bars and restaurants that show the rest of the world that Istanbul is right there on the modern map.

Istanbul exudes energy and innovation. Combine the historical sights, exotic bazaars, excellent dining and ultra stylish nightlife and you will totally understand why this amazing place is called 'the city of the world's desire'.

Sultan Ahmet Camii

Stunning mosque, one of the most prominent landmarks in Istanbul. An amazing building with 6 minarets and a suspended overhead dome. This extraordinary example of Ottoman architecture was built to rival the Hagia Sophia mosque.

Kapali Carsi Bazaar

The largest, oldest Grand Bazaar in the world, 65 unique winding covered streets, with some 4,000 shops, hammans (Turkish baths) teahouses and mosques. A mesmerizing place to find anything from jewellery, clothing, spices and Meerschaum pipes.

Hagia Sophia Museum

Commissioned in the 6th century as a cathedral and the most important church in Christianity until Mehmet II converted it to a mosque. In 1934 it was finally declared a museum. Inside and out this impressive site is extraordinary.

Topkapi Palace

A Sultan's Palace, that has been home to around 3,000 people, serving as a harem, barracks, royal and state residence. With stunning buildings linked by courtyards. This magnificent place gives a view into indulgent lifestyles of Sultans.

Yerebatan Sarayi

The Sunken Palace, built in 532AD to supply water to the Byzantine Palace. Renovated its now a fascinating place to visit. Marvel at intricate details on the 336 supporting columns and decide if there are two Medusa heads supporting columns.

Kariye Muzesi -Museum

Chora Church was rebuilt in the late 11th century. However, this interest is for the magnificent frescoes and mosaics that have decorated the interior, which proudly reflect the heritage of Byzantine Art.
