A Be Local Eat Local Experience:
Take time to enjoy a traditional Turkish coffee at the historical coffee roaster located in the Grand Bazaar. Each variety of coffee has been prepared with a blend of traditional knowledge, experience and of course a true passion for coffee. Rest of day at leisure, overnight at the hotel.
Half Day City Tour:
You will visit the Spice Market, the second largest covered market in Istanbul. It was constructed in the 1660s as part of the Yeni Camii (New Mosque) complex. The name derives from the herbs, and spices imported from or through Egypt. It is still the best place to buy Turkish delight, dried fruit, exotic spices and herbs.
Sunset Dinner Cruise:
Later this evening, enjoy a spectacular illumination cruise between 19:30-23:30 gazing at the iconic structures of Istanbul as they glow against the night sky. Set menu dinner with limited local drinks (2 glass of local wine or 2 beers or 2 soft drinks) will be served on the boat.
Yerebatan Sarnıcı:
Just a short walk across the square takes you to the Underground Cistern, the largest of the many underground cisterns built during the Byzantine Empire to supply the city with water. This cistern is especially fascinating because the Byzantine builders recycled many stone structures - capital heads and columns-- that had been used in earlier temples.

A Day of Reflection
On the last day of your vacation, take the opportunity to pause, reflect, and savor the memories you've created throughout your journey. Find a tranquil spot, perhaps a serene beachfront location or a cozy corner in your resort's lush gardens, where you can be alone with your thoughts. As the sun rises or sets, depending on your preference, let the peaceful ambiance of your surroundings wash over you.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to fully immerse in the sensations and experiences of your trip. Recall the sights, sounds, and scents that have left an indelible mark on your heart. Think about the new friends you've made, the adventures you've embarked upon, and the moments of sheer bliss you've encountered.
Allow this reflective time to be a bridge between your vacation and the return to your daily life, helping you carry the spirit of your travels with you as you move forward. It's a moment to cherish the past and embrace the future, with the memories of your vacation forever etched in your heart.
