You've
seen Istanbul's top sights, now get
out of the city. Here are the best one-day and overnight trips:
Bosphorus
Cruise
A half-day
or day-long excursion up the
strait that runs through Istanbul,
visiting castles, palaces...
and—if you're like me—fish
restaurants! More...
Princes Islands
A
voyage to these islands just offshore
from Istanbul is a great way to spend
a day...or even overnight. More...
Beaches near Istanbul
The beaches will be crowded on any
hot summer day, but they still provide
a refreshing getaway. More...
Bursa
Zoom
south across the Sea
of Marmara in
a catamaran to see this first capital
of the Ottoman
Empire, with its fine
old mosques, silk weaving trade,
and thermal spas. Make it
an overnight and see Iznik
(Nicaea) as well. More...
Edirne
Comfortable
day-long excursion by bus or car
to see the fine old mosques and
lively bazaars of the second
Ottoman capital,
delightfully free of tourist crowds. More...
Çanakkale & Gallipoli
Long
day-trip by bus or car to see the Dardanelles,
the Gallipoli
battlefields, and even ancient Troy;
possible in a day, but better as
an overnight. More...
Ephesus
Best-preserved
classical city in the entire
Mediterranean, a must-see;
go by plane for the day, or overnight. More...
Cappadocia
It's
possible to see the cave churches in
this picturesque "moonscape" region
in an overnight trip by plane, but
two nights is better, and three nights
is best. See Turkey
in 6 Days. More...
