Istanbul Day Tour from Fethiye — A Fly-In Full-Day City Tour

See the best of Istanbul in a single unforgettable day without giving up your Fethiye holiday on this Istanbul day tour from Fethiye, a fly-in private excursion with round-trip domestic flights, a professional guide and seamless transfers. From the early-morning flight out of Dalaman to the great mosques, palaces and bazaars of the old city and back again by evening, every detail is handled so you can simply enjoy Turkey's imperial capital.

Day Trip to Fethiye from the Greek Islands (Rhodes)

The Istanbul Day Tour is also arranged for visitors coming over from Rhodes for the day. Catch the early ferry to Fethiye (from Rhodes the ferry takes about 85 minutes) and you will be back on the island the same evening. Our team welcomes you at the Fethiye ferry port and makes sure the day ends in time for your return crossing. For longer itineraries we check the ferry timetable first and confirm that the full programme fits your day. Please bring your passport and check the Turkish entry requirements for your nationality before travelling.

Highlights of the Fethiye–Istanbul Day Tour

• Round-trip flights — domestic flights Dalaman–Istanbul–Dalaman to make the most of your day.
• Hagia Sophia — the 1,500-year-old Byzantine masterpiece, church, mosque and icon of the city.
• Blue Mosque & Hippodrome — the six-minaret Sultanahmet Mosque and the ancient chariot-racing square with its obelisks.
• Topkapı Palace — the opulent court of the Ottoman sultans overlooking the Bosphorus.
• Grand Bazaar & optional Bosphorus cruise — one of the world's oldest covered markets and, time permitting, a sail between two continents.

Your day begins with an early pick-up from your hotel in Fethiye and a private transfer to Dalaman Airport for the short flight to Istanbul, where your guide meets you. You head straight to the historic peninsula to explore Hagia Sophia, the blue-tiled Blue Mosque and the ancient Hippodrome with its Egyptian Obelisk and Serpentine Column, then step into the treasure-filled halls of Topkapı Palace.

After a delicious Turkish lunch in Sultanahmet you lose yourself in the colour and bustle of the Grand Bazaar, with its four thousand shops of spices, textiles and handicrafts, and — if time allows — enjoy an optional Bosphorus cruise for a view of the skyline from the water. In the evening you transfer back to the airport for the return flight to Dalaman and a private transfer to your hotel in Fethiye. It is the perfect way to tick Istanbul off your list while based on the Mediterranean coast.
