We partnered up with Alicia from the @thechaosdiaries to put together an EPIC luxury stay in Istanbul: "It's such a vibrant place!"

Explore this bustling city connecting Europe and Asia by visiting the various stunning mosques, feasting on Kebab, and strolling the lively bazars. Alicia: "I love wandering around the Balat neighbourhood, filled with colourful houses and cute cafes!" Finish the day in the pure luxury and comfort that is the Shangri-La Bosphorus. 

Alicia's must-see tip? A visit to the largest ancient cistern beneath the city: Basilica Cistern. We've added 2 entry tickets & a tour of this magical place to the itinerary! 

To top it all up, we're sending you out with £300 in holiday pocket money so you don't need to worry about the pennies. For those looking for the best place in town for kebab: Alicia recommends Istanbul Kebab Cafe & Restaurant.
