How to get to Istanbul

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and sits on the Bosphorus Strait. With a European side (Thrace) and an Asian side (Anatolia), it technically sits on two continents and provides travellers with a unique mix of influences. For Istanbul holidays, there are regular flights directly from most major airports in the UK to Istanbul. Cheap Istanbul flights are available through the major low cost airlines and the flight time is about three and a half hours from the UK. If you want to explore outside the city it is best to get around by road. Car hire from Istanbul Airport is competitively priced.

Where to stay in Istanbul

Holidays in Istanbul tend to be based in two main districts and cheap holidays to Istanbul are available in both. The more historically minded will prefer to be in Sultanahmet and those looking for modern Istanbul will want to stay in Taksim, a busy city area with a thriving nightlife. Sultanahmet is quieter at night but is closer to all the historic sites and some tourists feel more relaxed in this district of Istanbul.

What to do in Istanbul

Most of the principal attractions are close to Sultanahmet Square. There are walking tours available but if you are want to do it independently, make sure you visit Topaki Palace, the home of the Sultans, the Byzantine Hippodrome, the Sultanahmet Mosque with its beautiful blue tiling and Hagia Sophia, an architectural wonder which some consider the greatest church in Christianity. The Basilica Cistern, a sunken palace of marble, is another awe inspiring sight.
