The eight-day itinerary Exploring Istanbul is one of the highlights of this year’s offering from cultural tour specialist Peter Sommer Travels. It offers a chance to travel with just 18 people under the guidance of a Byzantine specialist with an intimate understanding of the city’s remarkable heritage and landmarks.

Starting September 8, 2012, the tour visits palaces, fortifications, mosques and churches, including iconic landmarks like the Haghia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. It includes an expedition into the countryside to visit the great aqueduct of Constantinople and a private boat excursion up the Bosphorus, plus ample opportunity for gastronomic exploration amid Turkey’s fantastic cuisine.

Exploring Istanbul costs from £1925 per person twin share (approx A$2928) including transfers, seven nights’ accommodation, breakfasts daily, most meals, all entrance fees and expert guiding. Flights extra.

Other upcoming tours in Turkey offered by Peter Sommer Travels include Cruising Western Lycia (September 1-8), Exploring Cappadocia (September 3-8) and A Carian Odyssey (September 8-22).
