Premium tier logistics were smooth across five packed nights for our family of four.
Five nights, four family members, zero regrets about this Istanbul itinerary.
Hagia Sophia's history hit even our restless twelve year old, architecture is genuinely humbling.
Istanbul blends history and everyday chaos so beautifully. Our parents said the bazaars reminded them of old Delhi markets back home. Mosques were serene despite the crowds of tourists everywhere. Five nights felt just enough to see the major sights without exhausting anyone.
Bosphorus cruise with two continents visible from the boat left the whole family in awe. Kids kept asking which side was Europe and which was Asia.
Grand Bazaar is delightfully overwhelming in the best way. My mother in law bargained like an absolute professional. She came back with gifts for nearly everyone in our extended family. Kids loved just watching the chaos of colours and shouting vendors.
