Departure: Istanbul
Connecting Europe and Asia, Istanbul is an ancient city with a beauty that transcends continents. Every year, millions of tourists visit Istanbul, one of the world's most popular tourist destinations thanks to the city’s stunning architectural details, its dynamic 24/7 urban life, and its culinary traditions and cosmopolitan atmosphere. The Hagia Sophia, a Byzantine-era monument; Topkapı Palace, an Ottoman Empire landmark; the monumental Süleymaniye Mosque; and the Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest and largest bazaars, are just a few of the historical sites in Istanbul. We also recommend visiting Beyoğlu, Nişantaşı and Kadıköy to experience Istanbul's modern side and Michelin-starred restaurants.
