Istanbul and related destinations

Ancient empires collide in a city where Europe meets Asia across the Bosphorus. Marvel at Hagia Sophia's soaring dome before exploring the Blue Mosque's intricate tilework. Haggle for treasures in the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar, where shopkeepers pour apple tea while displaying wares with theatrical flair. Topkapi Palace reveals Ottoman opulence through jewel-encrusted artefacts and harem quarters where sultans once ruled. Escape the bustle at a traditional hammam, where attendants scrub away your tourist status along with dead skin. For sunset views, catch a ferry crossing the strait – locals do this daily commute with enviable nonchalance. The Turkish and Islamic Art Museum showcases centuries of craftsmanship in a former palace setting.
