A culture-rich package combining Istanbul with Bursa, the first Ottoman capital. Grand Mosque, Green Tomb and Uludag await you.
See the two Ottoman capitals in one week: five nights in Istanbul and two in Bursa. Istanbul is covered with guided tours of the Bosphorus, the Old City and the Princes' Islands, plus a free day for shopping and a hammam.
On day six you drive to Bursa. After the calligraphy of the Grand Mosque, the tiles of the Green Tomb and the silk shops of Koza Han, you pause in the 700-year-old village of Cumalıkızık and ride the cable car up Uludağ. Snow play in winter or forest coolness in summer is the families' favourite part of the day.
A direct transfer from Bursa to the airport means there is no need to return to Istanbul on the last day. Combining culture and nature, it is one of the best-suited packages for Gulf families and guests interested in Islamic heritage.
When your flight lands at Istanbul Airport (IST), our representative meets you in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name and escorts you with your luggage to your private air-conditioned vehicle. After a transfer of about 45 min you check in to your hotel and receive your Turkish SIM card and the 24/7 WhatsApp support number.
The first evening is free so you can rest after your journey. Your guide shares recommendations for halal restaurants within walking distance and an easy evening stroll around Sultanahmet or Taksim. The next day's pickup time is confirmed via WhatsApp.
Pickup at 09:00 and a short drive to Eminönü, where you first explore the Spice Bazaar with its stalls of spices, Turkish delight and nuts. A 1.5-hour cruise then takes you past Dolmabahçe Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, the Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress and the wooden waterfront mansions. The afternoon ends with the panoramic view from Çamlıca Hill and Beylerbeyi Palace on the Asian side; feeding the seagulls from the boat is a favourite with children.
Depart at 08:30 with your guide for Sultanahmet: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and the Basilica Cistern. After lunch at a local restaurant you visit Topkapı Palace including the Harem and the Sacred Relics rooms. The day ends with free time among the 4,000 shops of the Grand Bazaar; walking distances are short and stroller-friendly.
No fixed programme today – after breakfast the day is yours. Suggestions: shopping at İstinye Park or Zorlu Center, a walk from Galata Tower along İstiklal Street, a scrub and foam massage in a historic hammam (USD 60) or the evening Bosphorus dinner cruise with show (USD 65). Families can add Vialand theme park (USD 45) or Istanbul Aquarium; a private driver for the whole day is available at USD 150.
Transfer at 09:00 to Kabataş pier and a 1.5-hour ferry ride to Büyükada, the largest of the Princes' Islands. With no cars on the island, you tour the pine-covered hills by electric cart or bicycle before a seafood lunch on the waterfront. Free time to climb to Aya Yorgi hill or swim at the beach, then the evening ferry back and transfer to your hotel.
Collected at 10:00 and driven across the Osmangazi Bridge to Bursa in about 2.5 hours, with a tea stop in Yalova. After check-in, a short orientation walk around Tophane Park with its clock tower and the tomb of Osman Gazi. Evening free; your guide recommends the best places for İskender kebab.
Start at 09:00 with the 20 domes and calligraphy panels of the Grand Mosque, then the Green Mosque, the Green Tomb and the silk shops of Koza Han. After lunch in the Covered Bazaar, taste village pastries in Cumalıkızık, a 700-year-old Ottoman village. In the afternoon the cable car takes you up Uludağ (snow play in winter, forest walks in summer); back at the hotel at 18:00.
After breakfast you check out; if your flight is later in the day your luggage is stored at reception. The road transfer from Bursa to Istanbul Airport is included; for Sabiha Gökçen allow 2 hours. Your private vehicle is waiting at the hotel 3 hours before departure and reaches Istanbul Airport (IST) in about 2,5 hours. Our representative assists you as far as the check-in desk – we look forward to welcoming you back to Türkiye.
