Discover Turkey: Istanbul Getaway

Start with the Icons in Istanbul

Your journey begins in Istanbul, a city that bridges two continents. Visit Hagia Sophia, one of the most recognised Islamic landmarks in the world. Once a church, then a mosque, then a museum, it is now again a mosque and still remains one of the most visited places in Turkey.

Nearby, you will find the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the historic Sultanahmet Square. These sites are more than photo spots. They tell stories of faith, leadership and centuries of history.

Head towards Bursa and Konya

From Istanbul, you can travel south to Bursa, the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. It is less crowded than Istanbul but rich in culture. Here, the Grand Mosque and the tombs of early Ottoman sultans provide context to the empire’s roots.

Next is Konya. This city is home to the famous Mevlana Rumi’s tomb and museum. Rumi’s poetry and teachings are known around the world, and Konya is where you feel their presence the most. While Rumi’s tomb is not a place of devotion in the religious sense, many people visit to reflect, learn and connect with the message of peace and unity that runs through the culture.
