Istanbul and Kusadasi package, 7 nights: four in Istanbul and three half-board by the Aegean, with a guided day at Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary.
A week for history lovers balanced with a beach holiday: four nights in Istanbul and three in Kuşadası. After the Bosphorus and the Old City in Istanbul you fly to Izmir and reach your hotel on the Aegean coast within an hour.
Ephesus is only 20 minutes from Kuşadası: the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre and the House of the Virgin Mary fill a full guided day. On the third day you can relax on the hotel beach or make a day trip to the white terraces of Pamukkale.
With aqua-park family hotels, short transfers and a direct return flight from Izmir, it is the most comfortable Aegean programme for families with children.
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.
