When you travel to Russia, chances are your journey will take you through Istanbul, as most flights are operated by Turkish Airlines. Instead of rushing through the airport, why not take advantage of this connection and turn it into an unforgettable experience?
Istanbul – The Perfect Gateway
Istanbul is one of the world’s most exciting cities, where East meets West. For travellers coming from Europe, a stopover can be a convenient way to add an extra dimension to the journey. But for those travelling from more remote destinations such as the USA, Asia, or Latin America, it’s especially beneficial, turning a long connection into a chance to explore a vibrant city. Even a short stay allows you to experience iconic sights like the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the bustling Grand Bazaar, and the magical Bosphorus.
Combine Two Destinations in One Trip
With our expertise in organising tours to Turkey, we can seamlessly combine your Russian adventure with a stopover in Istanbul – or even extend your stay. One of the most popular add-ons is a tour to Cappadocia, where you can experience breathtaking landscapes, cave dwellings, and a sunrise hot-air balloon flight that you’ll never forget.
Travel Made Easy
We’ll take care of all the logistics, so your stopover becomes part of the journey rather than just a layover. Whether you want a quick city tour or a few days discovering Turkey’s highlights, we’ll make sure your trip flows smoothly before you continue on to Russia.
Two Journeys, One Adventure
Why settle for just one destination? By pairing Russia with Turkey, you can enjoy two incredible cultures, histories, and experiences in a single trip. It’s the smart – and exciting – way to travel.
