Two-centre holidays

Tailor-made and two-centre holidays. Discover the possibilities If you want even more from your holiday, why not take in two places at the same time? Our two-centre holidays let you team time in Istanbul with a relaxing getaway in a beach or village hotel in North Cyprus or on the Turkish coast - giving you the chance to sightsee, sunbathe and experience different cultures all in one holiday.

Combine Istanbul with a choice of relaxing resorts. With one foot in the East and the other in the West, Istanbul is a perfect short-break destination combined with a spell in coastal Turkey or North Cyprus. Turkey’s biggest city offers up a captivating blend of sights, sounds and colours. Delve into the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar on the hunt for souvenirs. Admire

magnificent mosques, churches, museums and palaces. And discover stylish restaurants, starlit bars, cosy coffee houses and electrifying nightclubs - they’re all here in one fascinating melting pot of a metropolis. After experiencing fast-paced Istanbul, you can then head for somewhere completely different. Slow down the pace in North Cyprus - unwinding on the beach, lazing beside a turquoise pool or just soaking up the timeless way of life in this untouched country. Alternatively, why not stay in Turkey? Shift down a gear by escaping to Antalya, Bodrum or Kas or Kalkan. We’ve chosen each of these charming towns for their unique personalities and contrasts to city life. Cue everything from Crusader castles and cobbled shopping streets to peaceful bays, golden beaches and fabulous watersports - all perfect counters to bustling Istanbul.

Istanbul. Beyond imagination

Istanbul is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest cities. Divided by the mighty Bosphorus, uniting two continents, it’s sometimes referred to as the cradle of civilisation. Forget about street signs, throw away the maps, take a deep breath and plunge in. There’s nothing like it anywhere in the world. As the former capital of three successive civilisations – Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman there’s over 2,000 years of history to explore and some of it can be difficult to find amidst the chaos of the present. The oldest part of the city known as the Sultanahmet district, is home to many of its most breathtaking sights, from the minaret-cornered Byzantine Haghia Sophia to the opulent Topkapi Palace, once seat of the mighty Ottoman Empire. Here too you can gaze

at the dazzling 17th century Blue Mosque, adorned with over 20,000 ceramic tiles in 999 shades of blue. Apart from the history, Istanbul’s shopping is an experience not to be missed. First on the list is the staggering, highly atmospheric Grand Bazaar in the Beyazit area, with its twisting, covered streets - although better bargains can be had in the smaller streets around Sultanahmet and Beyazit. Wherever you are, the mostprized must-buys are carpets, kilims and silver jewellery. While you’re in Istanbul, take the opportunity to see outside the city for one day at least, either by exploring the Black Sea or the islands that dot the Bosphorus. Like Istanbul, they will leave their own indelible and unforgettable mark on you.

Ultimate relaxation. Discover Istanbul and North Cyprus in one unforgettable two centre holiday Imagine a few days in Istanbul followed by time in relaxing North Cyprus - it’s the ultimate combination for a two-centre holiday. One moment you’re in the midst of one of the world’s most exciting cities, haggling in exotic bazaars, visiting museums and soaking up the hip-and-happening atmosphere of this fascinating metropolis. The next you’re drinking in the slower tempo of one of the Mediterranean’s hidden corners, lounging on quiet beaches, exploring medieval monasteries and sipping drinks in harbourside cafes. Or why not do it all in different order, by making Istanbul the finale to your trip? Relax and recharge your batteries in North Cyprus before experiencing the rush of Istanbul - this spellbinding city setting an unforgettable seal on your time away.

Whichever combination suits you best, we’re here to make it happen in the way you want. You can opt to fly from any one of 4 UK airports - London Heathrow, Stansted, Manchester or Birmingham - and choose either 3 days in Istanbul with 7 days in North Cyprus or 4 days in Istanbul and 10 days in North Cyprus - in whichever order you prefer. And remember, we’re here to advise you on every aspect of your trip and talk you through all the options. We’ll use our first-hand knowledge of both Istanbul and different destinations in North Cyprus to help you choose the best hotels and itinerary for you. Just give us the word.

Should we have to cancel a tour, holiday or other travel arrangements as a result of hostilities, political unrest, or other circumstances amounting to force majeure, we shall inform you or your travel agent without delay and shall offer the choice of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard, if available, or a prompt and full refund of all money paid. Any such refunds shall be sent to agents within 10 clear days and to direct clients within 14 clear days.
