Good mix of beach relaxation and Istanbul culture overall on this route. Internal flight connection between Antalya and Istanbul though had a rough delay that threw off our whole day. Kids were cranky by the time we finally checked in. Would just budget extra buffer time for that leg specifically.
Watching Istanbul's skyline glide by during our Bosphorus cruise, kids loved spotting palaces from the water.
Six days felt just enough to cover coastal relaxation and Istanbul's major landmarks. Grandparents travelling with us never once felt rushed or exhausted.
Duden Waterfalls left the kids completely soaked and absolutely delighted. Standing that close to falling water as a family was genuinely thrilling.
Five nights sounded short for two cities but it flowed beautifully. Beach mornings in Antalya, then the Blue Mosque and a Bosphorus cruise in Istanbul, and our daughter still draws the mosque domes from memory.
Spotting the waterside palaces from our Bosphorus cruise kept both kids glued to the rail the whole way across.
