What travelers think of our Istanbul experiences
What you’ll do
Picture glowing coals under sizzling kebabs and shisha smoke billowing into the black sky. Imagine the vibe as there’s a shift in the air as the sun goes down. The sound of ice clinking in glasses at bars overlooking the Bosphorus Strait.
You could dive into bazaars and find colorful walkways crammed with clothes, leather handbags, silk scarves, and jewelry - with their jewel-colored lanterns, the city’s markets are even more exciting by night. Or maybe you’d like to explore a neighborhood known for its arts and live music scene.
Feel like watching the sunset behind the city’s domes and sip orange juice and vodka or a cocktail as you watch lights twinkling over the Bosphorus? Or what about ducking into a mayhene tavern to feast on mezze and sip Lion’s Milk, the local liqueur, before things are kicked up a notch and you find yourself amongst traditional dancing (it happens to the best of us)?
Just let us know your pace and your style, and your host will lead you to the spots which they’re sure you’ll love.
