A short cultural holiday in Istanbul, bringing together its historic peninsula, Bosphorus setting, markets and neighbourhood life in a pace that works for couples, friends and small groups.
Across 5 days / 4 nights in Türkiye, this itinerary gives travellers drawn to Istanbul Crossroads a clear route to discuss. The day-by-day outline below shows the intended rhythm, while the final order depends on flight times, supplier availability and the exact travel dates. Build in breathing room between major visits so the experience remains enjoyable rather than becoming a sequence of transfers.

Before you travel
Plan entry requirements for Türki̇ye before confirming non-refundable travel. Tell your consultant every traveller’s passport nationality, country of residence, departure airport and any transit stops. Use the country visa information and its review status to identify the official authority to consult. Residence in Kenya does not make all passport holders eligible for the same entry route. Include any onward destinations and return-entry requirements in that check.
Coordinate arrival times, airport transfers and accommodation check-in before choosing flights. For connecting journeys, confirm baggage arrangements and allow time for immigration or a change of airport. Tell your consultant about children, accessibility needs and planned activities so suitable transport and insurance can be discussed.
Your written quotation will identify the flights, transfers, insurance and visa-assistance services you have selected, with their costs and conditions. Visa assistance does not guarantee a visa or admission; decisions remain with the relevant authorities.

Ask Sunward to check seasonal conditions and live supplier availability for Istanbul Crossroads Escape on your proposed dates. Where an experience is weather or wildlife dependent, allow flexibility and do not treat a particular sighting or sailing as guaranteed.
