Overview

Istanbul and Bodrum package, 7 nights: four in Istanbul with a guided Bosphorus cruise and Old City tour, three half-board nights on the Aegean with Bodrum Castle.

A sea-and-culture package that joins the history of Istanbul with the white-washed Aegean town of Bodrum in one week: four nights in Istanbul and three in Bodrum. In Istanbul the Bosphorus and the Old City are guided; on day five a one-hour flight brings you to the Aegean coast.

In Bodrum you stay half board, spend one day with the Crusader castle, the windmills and the fishing village of Gümüşlük, and the other on a boat trip around the bays or simply on the hotel beach.

A balanced programme for couples and families who want to unwind by the sea after busy days in Istanbul; domestic flights and all transfers are included.

Highlights

  • Bosphorus cruise
  • Topkapi Palace
  • Bodrum Castle and marina
  • Bodrum windmills
