a city which served as the imperial capital of the East Roman Empire – Byzantine as Constantinople  and later for the Ottoman Empire today is a destination that fascinates with its diversity , history , culture and modernism , all at the same time. The Penninsula of the Sultanhamet Old City is a pleasure to walk around and explore the Byzantine and Ottoman history . As dusk sets in and the lights come on , the  Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia create an ambience of grandeur and beauty . Cruise on the Bosphorous between two continents and witness life being lived on both from your ferry. As the lights come on , Istanbul gets ready to party , head to the new Istanbul near Taksim square on to Istiklal street with clubs on every bylane  or to one of the famous clubs on the Bosphorous. You could also head to one of the kebab restaurants offering Belly dancing performances to enjoy the evening in a truly Turkish way . Whatever your choice ,  Istanbul knows how to enjoy !

We are sure one needs to really relax after all the partying in Istanbul . The Turkish coastline along the Aegean Sea offers a host of choices . The Turquoise blue waters of the Aegean Sea in summer offer a host of options to enjoy . Relax on the beaches , go swimming and snorkelling and even rent a yatch for the day in Fethiye . But if you still yearn for a happening evening after a lazy day , Marmaris could be your coastal town of choice with its night life on the buzzing Bar Street . For those who’s vacation is incomplete with at least a bit of historical flavour , the Ephesus near Kusadasi or Bodrum with its medieval fortress are the best places to fulfil that desire to connect with the historical past of Turkey .

We at WanderTrips can design a Turkey vacation to experience Tureky  with just the right mix of Partying , History and Relaxation in this country with such an amazing , throbbing cultural mix .
