Overview
About this package
Five days across Istanbul's two continents — the Byzantine mosaics of the Hagia Sophia, the tiled interior of the Blue Mosque, and a haggle through the vaulted alleys of the Grand Bazaar. A sunset Bosphorus cruise slips between Europe and Asia, past Ottoman palaces lit gold against the water.
