Why people go

Istanbul sits on both sides of the Bosphorus, and the historic peninsula is dense enough to walk: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı and the Grand Bazaar are all within a couple of kilometres.

It is the strongest city break we sell for couples, and it doubles as a medical-travel and shopping destination for clients who want a short, direct flight and no visa friction.

What you will actually do

  • Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace
  • Bosphorus ferry and the Asian side
  • Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar
  • Turkish visa support — e-visa for most Kenyan passport holders

Pairs well with

  1. Same region London & the UK Direct flights, family visits, university runs and school trips.
  2. Elsewhere Lake Nakuru Fenced, close, and the most reliable place in Kenya to see both black and white rhino.
  3. Elsewhere Mount Kenya Africa’s second-highest mountain, and the highlands, forest and trout streams around it.
