Departure: Lyon
Set on an island in the middle of the Rhone and Saone rivers, Lyon offers a relaxed atmosphere away from the Paris tourist circuit. Lyon is a genuine gourmet capital, and its famous Bouchon cuisine is worth discovering, while each corner of the city showcases homegrown cultural and literary elements such as Puppet Guignol and The Little Prince. As France's third largest city and a former capital of the silk trade, Lyon was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, a testament to its aesthetic architecture and historical significance. Some Lyon highlights include Fourviere Hill, accessed via a delightful funicular ride; the mysterious Croix Rousse, with more than 400 secret passages; Notre Dame de Fourviere Basilica; and Le Petit Musée Fantastique de Guignol.
Arrival: Istanbul
Turkish Airlines offers direct flights from Lyon to Istanbul, an ancient city whose beauty spans two continents. Flights take around three hours and 20 minutes. Istanbul, one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, welcomes millions of visitors each year, who come to view the city’s historic structures and bask in its cosmopolitan atmosphere. Some of Istanbul’s most notable highlights include the magnificent Hagia Sophia; Topkapı Palace, one of the Ottoman Empire's emblematic complexes; the Süleymaniye Mosque, a masterpiece by Mimar Sinan; and the Grand Bazaar, among the world's oldest and largest markets. We recommend visiting the Beyoğlu, Nişantaşı and Kadıköy neighborhoods to experience Istanbul's modern face and a culinary culture that embraces everything from street snacks to Michelin-starred restaurants.
