Istanbul is a thousand cultures belly dancing by the river...

Spend 4 nights in a hotel with sweeping views over the Marmara sea and islands with brekkie included. For only £340pp?!

A proper Turkish delight.

Istanbul, eh?

Istanbul is like a sensory assault course. But in a nice way.

🕌 See: Insane architecture (hello Blue Mosque), belly-dancers and colourful scarves.

☕ Smell: Spices, Turkish Coffee and the salty Bosphorus Strait waterway.

🥙 Taste: Kebabs, turkish delight, salted cheese and sweet baklavas.

🪕 Hear: Street music, stall vendors and excitable tour guides.

🧽 Feel: A traditional Hammam massage and the warm sea wind.

Where will I sleep?

Central location (Topkapi Palace and The Blue Mosque are a stroll away). A rooftop bar and restaurant with tasty panoramic views of the Marmara sea and islands. A garden, library and hairdressers (yep) if you need a holiday trim. Your hotel´s an overachiever alright.

Did we mention the buffet breakfast is included so you can stuff your chops with freshly made pancakes before a day of market browsing?

What will I do?

Two continents in an afternoon. Check.

Head to Ortaköy pier (check out the boutiques and tea houses while you’re there) and join a boat tour of the Bosphorus waterway. The boats loop around harbours on both the European and Asian sides of the city and you can hop on and off on a whim.

Explore markets, cafes, and mosques and soak up Istanbul’s face-melting views.
