Step into history in Sultanahmet, where Istanbul's Byzantine and Ottoman treasures await around every cobblestone corner. The magnificent Blue Mosque stands opposite the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia, while Topkapi Palace offers glimpses into imperial luxury. Wander through atmospheric streets to discover the mesmerizing underground Basilica Cistern with its forest of ancient columns.

Luxury boutique hotels and apartments dominate the accommodation scene, offering modern amenities with sophisticated Turkish design touches.

Culture lovers can explore the Atatürk Museum or admire St. Esprit Cathedral's Gothic architecture before hitting designer boutiques in Nişantaşı. The neighborhood serves up sophisticated dining with international cuisine and refined Turkish fare. Excellent metro connections via Şişli and Osmanbey stations make getting around a breeze, while upscale hotels cater perfectly to both business and luxury travelers.

Istanbul and related destinations

Ancient empires collide in a city where Europe meets Asia across the Bosphorus. Marvel at Hagia Sophia's soaring dome before exploring the Blue Mosque's intricate tilework. Haggle for treasures in the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar, where shopkeepers pour apple tea while displaying wares with theatrical flair. Topkapi Palace reveals Ottoman opulence through jewel-encrusted artifacts and harem quarters where sultans once ruled. Escape the bustle at a traditional hammam, where attendants scrub away your tourist status along with dead skin. For sunset views, catch a ferry crossing the strait – locals do this daily commute with enviable nonchalance. The Turkish and Islamic Art Museum showcases centuries of craftsmanship in a former palace setting.

"Just a few missing details such as burned out lightbulbs in the beautiful, but somewhat dated lobby and lights in the elevator which would turn off upon entry and back on after selecting a floor. Staff was mostly friendly and helpful, but have had more congenial receptions at other hotels. While supper was pretty tasty, the breakfast buffet was not very enjoyable."

WOW Airport Hotel

8/10 Good
"Worm water is weak in the shower. The windows need maintenance; sometimes air leaks in through them during strong winds. The hotel is far a little bit from market, need to walk around 25 min. The overall experience is good, in general good stuff, thanks for all of them."
