The following tour departing on the 15th September 2010 - A Cultural Week in Istanbul has now been especially designated for clients within this age group. There’s a real buzz to Istanbul, where Europe meets Asia – it’s exciting in a way few other cities are. The labyrinth of the Grand Bazaar is the hub at the centre of a great magical wheel. Gold sellers, carpets, ceramics… there’s no other place where window shopping is quite such fun. Take a tea-break just outside in a hidden courtyard, with vines on the walls and join the locals over a hubble-bubble pipe with a fat wad of tobacco and burning coals. The stroll down the back way to the Spice Bazaar, past the shop which sells everything you could imagine, past the caravanserai courtyards, the bartering and the porters lugging impossibly heavy loads. And then breathe in the smell of a thousand spices, fig, dates and olives. Count the minarets as you walk across the Galata Bridge, then grab a quick fresh fish roll for lunch.
So if you are looking for a holiday with like minded people within this age group, where you can discover the cultural delights and fascinating history of Istanbul, then this is the holiday for you.
