What a city….and one of the top–rated cities that South Africans have travelled to in the past few years. Istanbul offers an abundance of culture, nightlife, cuisine and history and is divided by the mighty Bosphorus River strait which separates Istanbul between Europe and Asia. Only those who have visited this exhilarating city will know that Istanbul is a melting pot of European and Middle Eastern cultures.  

International travel experts say multigenerational travel, which is more than one generation of the family travelling together, is this years’ top family travel trend.

Straddling eastern Europe and western Asia with cultural roots in ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires, Turkey is a vibrant, enigmatic destination. Add excellent value for money, a wealth of unique experiences and a touch of exoticism, and Turkey is fast becoming a popular option for South African travellers.
