Why
call us when you can book on-line elsewhere?
We are City Break specialists
and often have exclusive deals with both airlines
and hotels that you won't find online. We have
a number of contracts with smaller hotels that
are simply not available to book via other agents
and some of these hotels do not have the technology
to offer on-line bookings.
Also, some of our airline partners
use us to sell their excess capacity, either
over a particular season or sometimes on one
particular flight and the cost benefits are
passed on to you, the
customer.

The splendid city of Istanbul has many
unique and fascinating features. It
is the only city in the world reaching
across two continents, with its old
city in Europe and modern Istanbul situated
in Asia, separated by the Bosphorous
Strait. It is also unique in having
had capital status during two successive
empires, Christian Byzantine and Islamic
Ottoman, and the legacy from both is
visible in the modern city today.
Istanbul’s location on the water
made it a much coveted site as a commercial
shipping port and military lookout,
and as capital of the Roman Empire,
Constantinople, as it was known, became
extremely desirable as a centre of world
trade, until Mehmet the Conqueror claimed
it for the Ottoman Empire in 1453 and
it became the imperial seat of the sultans.
After the War of Independence the capital
was moved to Ankara, but Istanbul still
remains the commercial, historical and
cultural heart of Turkey today. |
