Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the forest on our two-and-a-half-hour-long hiking trail. Learn about the flora and fauna of the local area as well as capturing some fantastic views on your camera too. It’s not too strenuous so suitable for most. Thomson Couples Hotels have their own exclusive days.

A cooling alternative to the sunny beach, why not take a lazy boat trip on a small Turkish boat known as a gulet? For those preferring a smaller and more intimate boat cruise this trip is ideal. The coastline around Marmaris is idyllic, with pine-forested woods reaching down to the sea and hidden inlets and bays along the shore sheltering private yachts anchored in their waters.
Soak up the views and stretch out on deck to work on your tan. With the sea breezes keeping you cool and warm sunshine drenching your body, it’s an enjoyable way to catch the rays, or you can capture a shaded spot and relax with a good read. Dive into the clear waters for a swim or grab your snorkel and take a closer look at the underwater world. You’ll also be treated to a complimentary soft drink along the way and a tasty on board lunch; while mid-afternoon you’ll be treated to afternoon tea or coffee with cake. Tuck in as your boat bobs gently on the waves and finish up with more tanning time as you sail back to port.

La primera parada es el Hipódromo. Este circuito de origen romano se usaba para celebrar carreras de carruajes y otros acontecimientos públicos. Con el tiempo, se convirtió en el centro cultural y social de Constantinopla y germen de revueltas, intrigas palaciegas e historias de amor que han quedado grabadas en la historia de Bizancio.
La siguiente visita es la mezquita imperial de Sultanahmet, más conocida como la mezquita Azul por sus más de 20.000 azulejos de Iznik de tonos azulados que la decoran. Es un ejemplo fantástico de arquitectura con seis minaretes que dominan el horizonte de Estambul desde que el sultán Ahmet la mandó construir a principios del siglo XVII. Continúa tu recorrido después en dirección Santa Sofía, considerada el epítome de la arquitectura bizantina. Utilizada como catedral y mezquita, el vasto e intrincado edificio es ahora un fascinante museo.
Luego nos dirigiremos al Gran Bazar, un intrincado laberinto de callejones y estrechos pasadizos donde hay instaladas más de 4.000 tiendas y puestecitos, además de sitios dedicados a los artesanos. Esta es la ocasión ideal para adquirir artesanía tradicional turca como las objetos de barro pintados a mano o piezas de cobre y latón.
El recorrido llega a su fin en el impresionante Palacio Topkapi, residencia de los sultanes otomanos entre los siglos XV i XIX. Es un símbolo de la opulencia de esa época y lo podrás comprobar con la extensa colección de gemas preciosas, joyas, tronos reales y vestidos además de las figuras en miniatura de estilo otomano que allí se exhiben.
