Istanbul...
A mystical and inviting destination everyone must see, Istanbul has so much to offer including: Culture - History - Shopping - Fine dining - Excellent 5 star resorts and the warm and friendly people of Turkey. Only an 11-hour flight from Chicago, for which Compass Travel would recommend a very comfortable journey on Turkish Airlines. |  |
The best of Istanbul are the historical sites such as the Topkapi Palace, which was home to the Sultans, or the Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia Church. Take a morning or evening cruise along the gorgeous Bosphorus Sea to see how beautiful Turkey can be! For shopping, the Spice Bazaar is a culinary lovers delight for spices and coffee. The Grand Bazaar, the Worlds largest shopping Mecca with over 6000 shops, is the perfect place to find rugs, jewelry, linen and towels! Remember to always have a guide and make sure you allow plenty of time to shop.

Dining and nightlife are the best in the world! Most Turkish restaurants are open until midnight and offer a wide selection of beef kabob, fresh seafood and some of the best tomatoes in the world. Take a boat ride to the Maiden Tower for excellent dining and entertainment located in an old lighthouse in the middle of the Bosphorus Sea, a location used by James Bond 007 hit "The World is Not Enough." |  |
