Turkey offers the double attraction of a sunshine holiday and an abundance of sites of historical interest. There’s also the quirkiness of visiting a capital city that spans two continents!

Turkey’s capital is typically the launch pad for getting to know Turkey and the city possesses a wealth of things for tourists to see and do. Istanbul is a vast city and straddles Europe and Asia, with the line of demarcation being the massive Bosporus Strait. Boarding a traditional Istanbul ferryboat is a great way to get a perspective on the scale and majesty of the Bosphorus Strait. You’ll travel as far as the Black Sea port of Sariyer and then back to the Golden Horn harbour in Istanbul.
