What people love about Thrace Tours
- 4 Days Best-Value Istanbul Package
We were so pleased with our tour of Turkey. I have already recommended you to friends who are planning a visit to Turkey in the near future. The driver in Istanbul was such a gentleman and always on time to drive us to our locations. In fact, all of the driving arrangements were fantastic. Although we had already experienced a little of Istanbul prior to the tour, seeing Istanbul through the eyes of our tour guide, Baris (sorry if I have misspelled the name), made it all the more special. He went out of his way to treat us to food and insights most tourists would have missed. His knowledge of the sites we visited was fantastic and his passion for the Hagia Sophia was such a delight to experience. He was also very kind in helping us to solve a small problem we had encountered. This was well above our expectations as a tour guide, we are most grateful.

What are the must-see highlights during a general tour of Thrace Country Region?
The heart of the Thrace Country Region centers on Istanbul where ancient architecture and bustling markets create a unique cultural landscape. Key sites include the 1,500-year-old Hagia Sophia the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace which housed Ottoman sultans for centuries. The Grand Bazaar houses more than 4,000 vendors selling everything from spices to textiles. The Bosphorus Strait provides views of Europe and Asia with waterfront mansions dotting both shores. Many visitors choose to stay in the Sultanahmet district at places like the Recital Hotel for easy access to major sites. The Byzantine Hippodrome and aromatic Spice Bazaar round out the essential experiences that showcase the region's multi-empire heritage.
When is the best time to visit Thrace Country Region for general sightseeing?
Spring months of April and May along with fall months of September and October offer the most pleasant conditions for exploring the Thrace Country Region. These periods bring mild temperatures and fewer tourists particularly in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district. Summer brings heat and crowds while winter sees rain and cooler temperatures though with lower hotel rates at establishments like the Celal Sultan Hotel. The shoulder seasons allow comfortable exploration of outdoor sites such as the Hippodrome and mosque courtyards while providing good value for accommodations.
What type of accommodation can I expect on a general tour in Thrace Country Region?
Accommodations across the Thrace Country Region range from basic 3-star properties to high-end 5-star hotels.
