What makes this tour special
Itinerary
Welcome to Istanbul, a city where continents meet and cultures blend seamlessly. Upon arrival, our team will greet you at the airport and accompany you to your hotel with a private transfer.
Enjoy the rest of your day at leisure—wander through lively streets, savor Turkish cuisine, or simply relax and absorb the atmosphere of this magnificent city. Overnight in Istanbul.
(Breakfast Included)
After an early breakfast, we depart for an enchanting journey across the Osman Gazi Bridge toward the fertile landscapes of Bursa. Our ascent to Uludag Mountain promises refreshing air, scenic vistas, and—depending on the season—snowy adventure. Enjoy free time for photography, nature walks, or winter activities.
Weather permitting, you will experience a spectacular cable car ride offering sweeping views of the mountain.
After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, we continue to Bursa’s historic center, where Ottoman heritage comes alive.
Explore:
Green Mosque – a masterpiece of early Ottoman design
Green Tomb – resting place of Sultan Mehmed I
Koza Han – the historic silk market and caravanserai
As the day concludes, we return to Istanbul with memories of mountain breezes and old-world charm. Overnight in Istanbul.
(Breakfast Included)
Today we explore the soul of Istanbul. Begin with the majestic Blue Mosque, celebrated for its grand domes and tranquil blue tiles. Continue to the Hippodrome, once the bustling arena of Byzantine ceremonies and chariot races.
We then visit (or photo stop at) the legendary Hagia Sophia, one of the world's greatest architectural masterpieces.
If time allows, enjoy an optional short Bosphorus cruise, gliding between Europe and Asia with unforgettable skyline views.
A brief, non-obligatory shopping stop at the Grand Bazaar or a local handicraft centre adds a final cultural touch.
After the tour, we will escort you to the airport for your onward flight—bringing your Istanbul adventure to a graceful end.
