1 Day in Istanbul: One Perfect Day
This plan suits travellers who want three distinctive Istanbul experiences rather than a packed checklist. Begin with guided history, unwind with a traditional Turkish bath, and finish with a sunset yacht cruise.
Customize this with AIDay 1: History, hammam and sunset
