Istanbul
Why go to Istanbul
Istanbul in Turkey has built its reputation on markets that spring up in the old town squares and day trips inland to villages that see far fewer visitors — the kind of place that rewards slowing down rather than rushing between sights. Where Europe meets Asia, bazaars and all.
Flights land at IST airport, and the pace on the ground is generally unhurried — expect the day to be built around the beach, with everything else fitted in around it. Istanbul is well suited to both a short week away and a longer, slower two-week stay.
