Turkey with foodvacation's newest tour . . . Imagine
going to a city that combines the best of Rome, Naples, and San Francisco: Istanbul remains a very special place in the
world for history, culture, dining, shopping, and simply enjoying the good life.
We designed this tour to share with you our wonderful experiences
of the place once known as Constantinople, a World Heritage Site and cosmopolitan metropolis linking Asia with Europe.
You will stay
in a small, special-class hotel in Sultanahmet, the historical pith of ancient Constantinople, where a marvelous array of
historical sites, restaurants, museums, and shops lie within walking distance of one another. Yet this tour will expose you
to all of Istanbul and its marvelous joie-de-vivre, inlcuding the lively modern
center of Taksim and the marvelous food markets of the Asian side. As with all foodvacation tours, you will have plenty of
time to relax and explore on your own each day, but always with the benefit of Abel, Perret, & Leary’s first-class
guidance and introduction.
The home of Santa Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and cultural
treasures from two millenium as Constantinople and Byzantium, Istanbul greats visitors with charm, sophistication, and the
enjoyment of life. Istanbul greets the discerning shopper with rugs, textiles, handcrafted metalwork, furniture,
jewelry, and personal apparel. This guided tour will take you directly to the finest merchants and introduce you to the finest
restaurants.
