Istanbul is Turkey's storied city on the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and Tratoli's 30 packages use it as the anchor for journeys of every length. Options span short 4- to 6-day introductions to Turkey through week-plus circuits like the 8-day Best Of Turkey, and stretch into 16- and 17-day multi-country routes that pair Istanbul with Greece, the Greek Islands and Bulgaria. Every trip is sold as a ready-made package rather than à la carte activities, so you choose by duration and route.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an Istanbul-based package cost?

Across our 30 packages, prices start from ₹24,200 for the 4-day Indian Dream Of Turkey Tour and rise to about ₹1,37,000 for the 17-day Ottoman Turn. As a rough guide, packages work out to around ₹8,000 per day.

How many days should I plan for a trip?

Durations range widely: short trips like the 5-day Turkey Delight or 6-day Turkey Duo, mid-length options such as the 8-day Best Of Turkey and 9-day Turkish Express, and extended 16- to 17-day journeys for those wanting more.

Can I combine Istanbul with other countries?

Yes. Longer packages pair Istanbul and Turkey with neighbouring regions — for example the 16-day Greco-Turkish Passion With Greek Islands And Northern Greece, the 16-day Greece, Bulgaria, And Istanbul, and the 17-day Ottoman Turn.
