After a morning dedicated to relaxation, you will enjoy a convivial lunch at the hotel to savor the first flavors of local cuisine. Your afternoon will be dedicated to exclusivity with our Istanbul by Night excursion, starting just before sunset to capture the golden light on the domes of Sultanahmet. As the city lights up, you will join the lively shores of Ortaköy for a stroll along the Bosphorus, where the sea breeze and the sparkle of illuminated palaces create an absolutely magical atmosphere. Late in the evening, you will benefit from a return to the hotel by private transport for a well-deserved rest.

💡 Your Guide's Tip: "For a 100% Istanbul experience, take advantage of our stop in Ortaköy to taste the famous Kumpir (stuffed potato) while admiring the Bosphorus Bridge. It's the ideal spot for your best night photos, but don't forget to bring a light jacket, as the sea breeze can be cool on the shores after sunset."

• Shopping & Modernity: Head to the Nişantaşı district for luxury boutiques, or the Mall of Istanbul for an impressive selection of Turkish and international brands.
• Colors & Bohemian: Get lost in the colorful alleys of Balat and Fener, the former Jewish and Greek quarters, famous for their rainbow houses and vintage cafes (perfect for your photos!).
• History & Palaces: Visit the sumptuous Dolmabahçe Palace on the shores of the Bosphorus, a symbol of 19th-century Ottoman elegance, or immerse yourself in the mystical atmosphere of the Egyptian Bazaar (Spice Bazaar) to bring back local flavors."

To conclude this day in beauty, head to Venezia Mega Outlet, a unique shopping center with architecture inspired by Venice, where you can shop while strolling along gondola canals. At the end of the day, a private transfer will ensure your return to the hotel for your last evening in the city.

💡 Your Guide's Tip: "Prepare your camera batteries! This is the most visually spectacular day. At Pierre Loti, try to sit at the tables on the edge of the terrace for the best perspective. For Venezia Mall, it's the ideal place to find international brands at outlet prices, so plan space in your suitcases!"

💡 Your Guide's Tip: "This is a favorite excursion for families and nature lovers. In Maşukiye, don't hesitate to try the local tea near the waterfalls; the sound of the water is incredibly soothing. If you choose to stay in Istanbul for this day, it's the ideal time for a last stroll through the Grand Bazaar or the Spice Bazaar for your gourmet souvenirs (Turkish delight, spices, tea)."

After your breakfast at the hotel, this free day is the ideal time to conclude your stay according to your personal desires. Whether you want to revisit a favorite neighborhood, visit a museum you haven't seen yet, or treat yourself to a wellness break, Istanbul is yours to explore. It is also the perfect opportunity for your last souvenir shopping and gift purchases. You can stroll at your own pace through the historic bazaars or explore modern shopping centers to pack your bags with peace of mind. Enjoy this last evening for a farewell dinner overlooking the Bosphorus to celebrate the end of this memorable adventure.

💡 Your Guide's Tip: "For your last souvenir purchases (Turkish delight, teas, spices), the Egyptian Bazaar is often more affordable and authentic than the Grand Bazaar. If you are looking for quality clothing at unbeatable prices to end the trip, check out the Laleli or Merter districts. Finally, don't forget to weigh your suitcases at the hotel tonight to avoid any unpleasant surprises at the airport tomorrow!"
