Following a pleasant evening with Yiannis and his family, our explorer decided that it was time to leave Greece, and head towards the City on the Seven Hills, Istanbul!
The next day, our explorer took a direct flight from Santorini to Istanbul. On their arrival, our traveller took the HAVAIST Airport Shuttle for less than £2 and headed towards the district of Sultanahmet. This area is known as the historical heart of ancient Constantinople, it’s also a UNESCO-protected area which occupies most of the peninsula and is home to Istanbul’s most famous historic and cultural tourist attractions.
