City break to Istanbul with Expedia, including hotels, flights and holidays.
23 April 2008
Istanbul is Europe’s most criminally underrated city. Spread over seven hills and surrounded on three sides by water, its position is astonishingly beautiful. Ottoman minarets crown a skyline constructed on Byzantine foundations, while water ferries scoot between Bosphorus suburbs of wooden villas. The food is terrific, the nightlife goes on until dawn and the summer months feature a back-to-back line-up of crowd-pleasing international festivals.
