Istanbul....Constantinople.... The very names conjure up images of an ancient civilisation, of East meeting West, of an unimaginably exotic land.
An alluring and romantic city - once the seat of sultans and their harems - it entices the visitor with its mixture of chaos and paradoxes. It is a city of contrasts and contradictions and it ignites a fire within your soul. It will embrace you with its intoxicating blend of ancient and modern, East and West, and will leave an indelible mark on your senses.
The combination of history, culture and art (along, it's fair to say, with the cuisine) has inspired us to visit Istanbul in the spring of 2024. We can reasonably expect eight hours of sunshine and temperatures of around 22C while we are there. What better way to wave goodbye to the grey skies of a British winter?
