7 nights in a 4★ Taksim or Laleli hotel, airport transfers, Sapanca–Maşukiye trip, Princes' Islands by boat and 'Damascus Nights' Bosphorus dinner cruise. Net price.
The classic Istanbul programme most often chosen by families and groups of friends from the Gulf. You stay seven nights in a 4-star hotel in the city centre, in Taksim or Laleli, are met at the airport and driven back by private vehicle on departure.
Three organised excursions are included: a nature trip via İzmit to Lake Sapanca and the Maşukiye Waterfalls, Büyükada, the largest of the Princes' Islands, by boat, and a Bosphorus dinner cruise in the 'Damascus Nights' concept with Arabic songs, live music and dabke shows against the illuminated skyline.
The remaining four days are free; an Old City tour, Turkish Night, hammam or Vialand can be added. The price shown is a net price and the programme is also available with a 5-star hotel.
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.
After breakfast the day is yours. The tram takes you from your hotel to Sultanahmet in 15 minutes: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern and the Grand Bazaar at your own pace. A guided Old City tour can be added as an option; your guide shares halal and Arabic restaurant suggestions for the evening via WhatsApp.
Pick-up at 09:00 and a 2-hour motorway drive via İzmit to Sapanca. A lakeside walk and photo stop, then the waterfalls of Maşukiye and a cool forest walk beside the stream. Trout or grill lunch at a riverside restaurant (not included); optional Kartepe cable car. Back at the hotel around 19:00.
Daytime free: shopping in Nişantaşı or İstinye Park, a stroll along İstiklal Street. At 19:30 transfer to the pier for the Bosphorus dinner cruise in the 'Damascus Nights' concept: dinner, Arabic songs, live music and dabke shows while the bridges and palaces glide by under the lights. Back at the hotel at 23:30.
At 09:30 transfer to the pier and a pleasant boat ride across the Marmara to Büyükada. There are no cars on the island: electric carts or bicycles take you through pine forests, up to the Aya Yorgi hill and past the wooden mansions. Seafront lunch (not included) and free time; return boat at 17:30 and transfer to the hotel.
A free day. Our suggestions: a short public Bosphorus boat ride from Eminönü, kumpir in Ortaköy, a visit to Dolmabahçe Palace or shopping at the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar. A private guided Bosphorus tour or a Turkish Night can be added as an option.
The last full day is for rest and final shopping: children's clothing in Mahmutpaşa, Turkish delight and baklava in Eminönü, an optional scrub and foam massage at the historic Çemberlitaş Hammam. In the evening the next day's airport transfer time is confirmed via WhatsApp.
After breakfast you check out; if your flight is later in the day your luggage is stored at reception. Your private vehicle is waiting at the hotel 3 hours before departure and reaches Istanbul Airport (IST) in about 45 min. Our representative assists you as far as the check-in desk – we look forward to welcoming you back to Türkiye.
