Dear Fellow Travellers,

My boyfriend and I spent a few days this summer in Istanbul visiting some of the major tourist attractions in the city and taking two quick and convenient side trips by plane to Cappadocia and Ephesus.

Our tour operator was www.turkeytravelservice.com and www.allistanbultours.com in Turkey and I must say that they made all the difference in our travel experience.

The tour itinerary covered the main attractions in Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus well and most importantly, the prices were very reasonable! That ofcourse, gave me extra money to buy some fabulous jewellry and local ceramics during our travel [much to my boyfriend's dismay!].

Istanbul is a lovely city, with so much flavour to offer and during the summer months is overwhelmed with tourists from all over the world, particularly from the US. We made some good friends during the tour with a couple from Britain and New Zealand as well. It was a good vacation, did not feel like returning....!

I recommend the Istanbul by Night, Ottoman Relics and Istanbul Classics tour from www.turkeytravelservice.com and the Cappadocia and Ephesus by plane from www.allistanbultours.com

Best luck and enjoyment in your travel to Turkey. Be safe and always haggle for prices - it's fun and gives you more of an accurate idea of the cost of goods.

Cheers!

Istanbul is such an addictive city full of historically relevant sights. Within Istanbul you may find visiting the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi and Dolmabache Palaces of particular assistance. Many of these sights can be walked to, but it helps to have the servıces of an experıenced tour company to help with arranging tıckets, inter-city travel and buses and airplane reservations. Sometimes getting to the bus station or from the station to the tourist attraction requires pick and drop services, so it's best to rely on a touring company that can orchestrate all this. One example is OneNation travel agency ( www.allistanbultours.com ), but there are also many other companies, like www.istanbultouronline.com - www.gallipolitour.com, www.turkeytravelservice.com

You can also do these visits on your own without hiring a tour company. Walking in the Hippodrome is free. A visit to the Blue Mosque is also free, but do leave a donation as you leave. Tickets to Haiga Sophia and Topkapi (which are next door to each other) can be bought at the door. Dolmabache Palace can be reached by tram.
