Plan your journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport
Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey, is around a 50-minute drive via the E80 from Sabiha Gokcen Airport. This colourful metropolis offers an enticing combination of sights and sounds with bustling bazaars, ancient minarets, ornate mosques and fascinating museums all vying for your attention.
Ayasofya (or Hagia Sophia in English), is a must-see attraction; originally a church, then a mosque, this incredible building is now a museum showcasing glittering mosaics and the tombs of early Ottoman sultans. Across the park from Ayasofya is the Blue Mosque; with its six minarets and ornate features, it’s worth exploring.
History buffs won’t want to miss a visit to the Istanbul Archaeological Museum where highlights include the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great and, in the children’s section, a model Trojan Horse.
Not far from the Istanbul Archaeological Museum is Topkapi Palace; home to generations of sultans and their wives, it boasts a wealth of treasures as well as providing stunning city views.
If you’re in need of some rest and relaxation, head to one of Istanbul’s hamams for a massage treatment and relaxing steam room experience.
Istanbul comes to life in the evening and those in search of clubs, cafe-bars and live music should head to Beyoğlu or the trendy Ortaköy district. If a leisurely meal is more your style, the city is packed with restaurants and traditional Turkish tavernas, where you can expect to find everything from traditional Turkish mezze and fish dishes to international cuisine.
From the comfort of your rental car, you can discover Istanbul and other Turkish delights at your own pace.
