Day-by-day itinerary idea
- Day 01
Arrive at IST or SAW airport (confirm your ticket), meet the transfer arranged for your confirmed flight, and check in. Keep the rest of the day easy. Overnight in Istanbul.
- Day 02
After breakfast, spend the day among the Old City landmarks with a lunch break and a guided route chosen around current visitor access. Overnight in Istanbul.
- Day 03
After breakfast, enjoy a Bosphorus cruise and selected European waterfront stops; continue to the Asian side only if the group prefers a fuller day. Overnight in Istanbul.
- Day 04
After breakfast, explore Galata and Karaköy, or choose Balat and Fener for a heritage walk. Add time for a long lunch and local shops rather than stacking both neighbourhood circuits. Overnight in Istanbul.
- Day 05
After breakfast, check out and transfer from Istanbul to IST or SAW airport for your confirmed onward journey. If a domestic flight is requested, prefer a departure after 17:00 when a suitable service exists; agree any optional morning visit around airport check-in and road time. No overnight.
