Istanbul Layover
What to do in a short time in Istanbul? Do you have any recommendations for Istanbul layover? Is it worth leaving the airport for a short layover in Istanbul?
The answer is yes! Although both of the airports are far from the old town, there are good options for transportation.
The best option is that we book you a private transfer. Because of the distance involved, it is the same cost as a taxi. It is safer and much more comfortable for a layover in Istanbul.
A short trip to Sultanahmet area in Istanbul will include a walk around the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar.
