Istanbul Family Discovery

Five days of the Bosphorus, grand bazaars, cable cars and theme parks — designed for every member of the family.

Overview

Istanbul is one of the few cities that pleases everyone: history for its lovers, shopping for its devotees, and green spaces and rides for the little ones. We designed this program at a relaxed family rhythm — no dawn wake-ups, no exhausting distances — with a centrally located hotel that's easy to return to for a midday rest.

Journey highlights

A family Bosphorus cruise
A full day among Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar
The Pierre Loti cable car and city panorama
An open day at the city's biggest theme parks and modern districts
