How Much Time Do You Need?

How Much Time Do You Need?

Istanbul is one of the most unique cities in the world and with two continents of treasures, three days will hardly do it justice. A week will give you time to enjoy the sites and sounds and smells with a little leisure. Don't miss the main sites like Topkapi, Aya Sofya, and the Bazaar, then seek out more of what you like: there are plenty more Ottoman mosques and Byzantine remnants, or you can just chill out, say (tea) in hand, by the waters of the Bosphorus.
