Estambul - Welcome
Istanbul is a city where it is still possible to discover many of the East’s secrets. Try a delightful Turkish bath or the flavours of a water pipe, walk through its marvellous markets and bazaars, visit its countless mosques or smell the scent of incense and spices in its streets. Hagia Sofia and the Blue mosque are fascinating both interiorly and exteriorly and definite places to visit during your trip. From the Galata tower enjoy the spectacular views of the city and dine in its restaurant. It is highly recommended to take a short cruise on the River Bosforo to appreciate the wonderful monuments and palaces of the city. The terraces on its banks are full of atmosphere and are a great place to enjoy a pleasurable time. An unforgettable adventure is to pass an afternoon in the bazaar where one can find absolutely anything and bartering is the best form of getting the best price given that the marked prices are much higher than the real value. Walk through the city and find the Golden Horn, a natural port that divides Istanbul into the old city and the Galata side. If you choose to travel in summer, take a trip to Princes’ Island to enjoy nature, beaches and dining in one of its restaurants.
