Day One
From London Gatwick, board your Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul.  Upon arrival a private transfer will meet you to take you into the historic city of Istanbul.  You’ll be staying at the Fer Hotel in the narrow streets of the old city for the next 3 nights in a Superior Room with breakfast included.

Days Two to Three
There is so much to see and do in this city and you’ll be in exactly the right location to do it with ease.  Having undoubtedly been for an explore of the immediate surrounding area on the day you arrived you’ll possibly have seen some of the key historical sites of Istanbul.  Join tours to learn as you go visiting the likes of the Hagia Sophia, originally built as a Christian Church in the 6th century before becoming a mosque, then a museum and then a mosque again.   Nearby you’ll also find the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, also fondly known as the Blue Mosque with its own historical stories, along with Topkapi Palace, just a few minutes away.

Heading to the famous Grand Bazaar is certainly worthwhile, you’ll either love it or hate but you'll have to see it to decide for yourself.  With over 4000 shops spread over 61 covered streets, all with the vendors haggling and encouraging you in to view their goods, this is one of the world’s oldest and largest market areas.

Day Four
A private transfer will pick you up from the Fer Hotel to head back to the airport where you’ll board a Turkish Airlines domestic flight south to Antalya.  Another private transfer will then escort you across to the resort of Side where you’ll spend the next 7 nights at Voyage Sorgun in a Standard Bungalow Room on an ultra-all-inclusive basis.

Days Five to Ten
After the exertions of Istanbul you’ll potentially want to spend the majority of your time relaxing by one of the resort pools or on the beach.  There’s certainly enough excuses to keep you there all day with water slides and activities to break up the lounging.  Should you venture out though, you’ll find the resort of Side (pronounced ‘see-day’) is an ancient city in its own right, dating back to the 8th century BC including several centuries under Persian rule as well as Alexander the Great.  Some of the historic sites you can visit during your stay include the Temples of Apollo and Athena, the ancient amphitheatre, and the monumental fountain.

Day Eleven
Today, you’ll say goodbye to your new-found friends and head back to Antalya Airport by private transfer to board your EasyJet flight to London Gatwick.
