Enjoy a weekend city break in Istanbul - gateway between Asia and Europe

Istanbul has long been the meeting place between East and West. Inside the city contending culture have coalesced to form a unique culture, part christian, part Muslim, part European and part Arab. Enjoy the souks of Istanbul and the bustle of this extraordinary city jived up on its past and its future.

Luxury break in Istanbul

The Bosphorus that cuts the city in two, the ancient walls that have seen so many seiges, the equally ancient mosques and churches that date to the very beginning of their religions, the narrow streets that disappear between leaning buildings... this is a city that welcomes and absolutely enthralls the visitor.

Istanbul

Get stuffed in Turkey

While it is undeniably the case that Istanbul has a rich and varied history, with countless bazaars and palaces, don't neglect your need for dinner.

Istanbul features a number of outstanding restaurants, with ingredients that not only blow away taste buds, but also quite frankly put to shame the average Briton's evening meal at home.

Among the many outstanding eateries is Huzur Restaurant, featuring one of the best views of the Old Town and the beautiful Topkapi Palace - a number of traditional Turkish fish dishes are served, including mouth-watering mezes and a number of meat dishes.

Another restaurant in the heart of the city - quite literally - is Asir, a hard-to-find but inexpensive eatery located around half a kilometre underground - the restaurant serves a delicious range of mezes and seafood.

In both cases, expect to pay around £6 per person before drinks.

Visitors to Istanbul are amazed by sheer potency of the city - his fantastic presence. Make sure you see as much as you can as well as eat the delicious fish and powerful Raki (tho not too much) and then saunter through the old quarters in the heat and smell of the city.
