Un super voyage en Turquie aux petits oignons préparé par Elsa Entre Istanbul et la capadoce, nous avons passé une super semaine ! Un très grand Merci pour ton professionnalisme
Posted on 12/01/2025
J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de participer à un voyage organisé par une Elsa en Turquie, et je tiens à partager mon expérience. Nous avons visité Istanbul et la Cappadoce entre amis pour la semaine du nouvel an, et tout était vraiment incroyable ! Tout d'abord, l'organisation était impeccable. Chaque détail avait été soigneusement planifié, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de notre séjour sans stress. Les activités étaient variées et bien choisies, offrant un bel équilibre entre, histoire et moments de détente. Nous avons séjourné dans un hôtel bien situé, proches de toutes commodités et des visites que nous avions prévues de faire comme la mosquée Sophia, mosquée Bleue, les citernes… etc ce qui a rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable. En Cappadoce nous avons eu un hôtel vraiment typique, propre avec une vue imprenable sur le levé du soleil et les montgolfières qui s’élèvent sur la ville le matin. L’hôte était de bons conseils et très serviable. Tout était parfait. Je tiens également à remercier notre organisatrice pour sa disponibilité et son professionnalisme. Grâce à elle, nous avons découvert des magnifiques endroits et vécu des moments mémorables entre amis . Je la recommande à tous ceux qui cherchent à explorer ces magnifiques régions de Turquie !

The city will captivate you with its exceptional architectural heritage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your days will unfold between sumptuous palaces, majestic mosques, and cobbled streets full of history. Istanbul's unique atmosphere, with its spice scents, vibrant colors, and breathtaking panoramas, creates an idyllic setting to celebrate your union.
Istanbul’s Mediterranean climate allows you to enjoy your honeymoon throughout the year. Temperatures range from 7°C in winter to 30°C in summer, with particularly pleasant periods in spring and autumn. This climatic diversity offers you the option to tailor your stay according to your preferences, whether you wish to stroll under the summer sun or discover the city in a gentler light.
The legendary Turkish hospitality will transform your honeymoon into an authentic human experience. The residents of Istanbul, proud of their city, will gladly share their tips and smiles, adding a warm dimension to your romantic stay.
Your honeymoon in Istanbul would not be complete without exploring the iconic sites that have made this ancient city world-famous.
The Hagia Sophia is an absolute must-see during your stay. This architectural marvel, built in the 6th century, will impress you with its colossal dimensions and 31-meter diameter dome. The building, which has served as both a Byzantine basilica and an Ottoman mosque, witnesses the rich history of Istanbul and provides a majestic backdrop for your honeymoon photos.
Opposite Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque will dazzle you with its six slender minarets and 20,000 Iznik blue tiles that give it its nickname. Constructed between 1609 and 1616, this imperial mosque invites you to discover Ottoman art in all its splendor. Your steps will then lead you to the Topkapi Palace, which was the residence of the Ottoman sultans for over 400 years.
This palatial complex of 70 hectares houses priceless treasures, including the sultan’s private apartments and the famous harem. Walking through its terraced gardens, offering panoramic views over the Bosphorus, is a privileged moment for couples. The Basilica Cistern, nicknamed the "Sunken Palace," will immerse you in a mysterious atmosphere with its 336 marble columns emerging from the underground water.
The Bosphorus Strait, stretching 32 kilometers, separates Europe from Asia and offers unique romantic experiences for your honeymoon. A sunset cruise will allow you to admire the Ottoman palaces, yalis (traditional wooden houses), and mosques lining the shores, bathed in golden light.
The 67-meter-high Galata Tower offers an exceptional viewpoint over the city and the Bosphorus. Built in 1348 by the Genoese, this cylindrical stone tower allows you to embrace the beauty of Istanbul. The Galata neighborhood, with its cobbled streets and intimate cafes, invites a romantic stroll.
Your evenings will take on a special dimension in the numerous terrace restaurants offering breathtaking views of the strait. These establishments offer refined Turkish cuisine, blending European and Asian influences, perfect for memorable one-on-one dinners.

The authentic atmosphere of its cobbled streets and the proximity to the Grand Bazaar make it a favored choice for couples wanting to immerse themselves in Ottoman history.
Beyoğlu, a modern and cosmopolitan district, appeals for its dynamism and views over the Golden Horn. The famous 1.4-kilometer-long Istiklal Avenue is packed with shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. This sector also houses the legendary Pera Palace, a historic hotel that has hosted celebrities like Agatha Christie and Ernest Hemingway.
The Karaköy district, undergoing a renaissance, attracts couples seeking authenticity and modernity. Its former warehouses turned into art galleries, trendy cafes, and proximity to the Galata Tower make it an alluring option for your romantic stay.
