Flights To Istanbul
Istanbul is Turkey’s largest city and cultural capital. Located on the narrow strip of land between the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea, it’s both literally and physically a bridge between the East and the West. So if you had trouble choosing between Europe and Asia for your holiday, you’re in the right place—Istanbul has a bit of both.
Getting Around Istanbul
When Wotif’s flights to Istanbul land, you’ll have tons of choices for getting around. There is an express bus that leaves right from the airport and will take you into the city centre. A taxi will do the same. There is also the light rail, or metro, just a 10-minute walk from the airport. Hop a ferry and literally move between continents: the Bosphorus Strait is part of the dividing line between Europe and Asia. Two continents in one day? Now that’s what we call a jet-setter!
When You Land…
If you land in the morning, head to a Hammam, or Turkish bath, for a relaxing soak and a massage to loosen up after Istanbul flights.
Touching down in the afternoon? Take part in the centuries-old tradition of trade at one of the world-famous bazaars.
After dark, find yourself a café, nightclub or bar and sample some Turkish coffee, a hookah or an adult beverage before checking into your Istanbul accommodation.
Live Like a Local
There are so many historical sites in the old city, known as Sultanahmet. From the Theodosian Walls to the Hagia Sophia to Sultanahmet Square, you could spend your whole trip looking back in time. When you get hungry, head to one of the residential neighbourhoods and find yourself a small Lokanta restaurant where locals grab a Balik-Ekmek (fish sandwich) and an Ayran yoghurt drink. With our Istanbul holiday packages, you can experience it all!
