3 Nights in Istanbul – Two Continents Tour: East Meets West
Experience Istanbul on both sides of the water with this three-night package that lives up to its name, crossing from Europe to Asia and back. With a hotel, daily breakfast and transfers all arranged, you can focus on the city rather than the logistics.
One full day is devoted to the Byzantine and Ottoman Relics tour, taking in Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and the Grand Bazaar with a professional guide. Another day brings a Bosphorus cruise, a visit to the spice markets and a crossing to the Asian shore, where Çamlıca Hill offers some of the finest panoramas of the skyline.
Lunches at local Turkish restaurants are part of the experience, giving you a real taste of the city between the sights. It is a well-paced way to see why Istanbul has always sat at the meeting point of East and West.
