Istanbul has always been a city at the crossroads, full of contrasts between old and new, east and west, sacred and secular. The ancient city of Constantin has seen Empires rise and fall, and in modern times, with the city's ambition to bridge the gulf between the Muslim world and Europe, its split personality creates a seductive atmosphere, which is best experienced if your hotel is in Istanbul's old Sultanahmet area. It is here more than anywhere else in Istabul, where past and present truly come together and stimulate all your senses. 

This LomaVer Istanbul package includes the following services:**

• Round-trip private car transfers
• 3 nights in a double room in the 3-star boutique style Hotel Amiral Palace, with breakfast

Or leave some time for a relaxing cruise up the Bosphorus. Or do some more shopping or just take in the atmosphere in the Spice Market. Or see more of Turkey with a customized tour to memorable places like ancient Troy and Ephesus, Cappadocia with its wondrous rock formations and famous cave hotels, and fabulous seaside resorts on the Mediterranean coast.
