Bargain Holidays to Istanbul Turkey
To travel to Istanbul is to go back in time, from the east
of the Bosphorus to the west separates Asia from Europe, formerly
known as Constantinople the area is rich in history, stroll
through Taxsim square in the daytime and feel the pulse of
this magnificent city, however return at night and it takes
on a much more sinister feel, never travel alone here.
The Bosphorus holds many of turkey’s treasures, on
the one side Exquisite Ottoman architecture, mosques, grand
palaces and Turkish Bazaars, tourists flock here in their
thousands as do pick pockets, con artists and gypsies so
take care and never stop to have your shoes shined unless
you want to be mugged.

Holidays to Istanbul
As befits a grand city, the choice of accommodation is
varied from 5 star hotels to bespoke boutique hotels, the
season is year long but August and July are best avoided
due to the heat and humidity, to get the best out of your
trip a guided tour offers the most options and can be 1-4
days in duration, these can be booked in advance or on arrival,
traffic is seriously congested in Istanbul that has in excess
of 15 million inhabitants all of whom appear to be in a
hurry. |
