Explore and haggle in the Grand Bazaar and visit the Archaeological Museum, see the Suleymaniye mosque and the Byzantine masterpiece of the Church of St Saviour in Chora. Alternatively, take a Bosphorus boat tour.

Bodrum is another fascinating port, with its long sandy beaches and Mausoleum of Halikarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
