Overview Hotels to Stay Optional Extras

One of the best ways to experience Turkey is to combine a short break in Istanbul with a relaxing stay in a coastal resort. Sightseeing can be tiring so what better way to relax than to spend the following 7 nights soaking up the sun in one of Turkey’s attractive resorts. The total duration of your holiday will be 10 nights, however, you can stay longer or shorter, this type of holiday offers great flexibility.

For 2 centre holidays, you will fly direct from UK any day of the week. You will be met by our driver/ representative and transferred to your hotel. After 3 days exploring this fascinating city, you will be transferred back to the airport for your internal flight to the nearest domestic airport to your chosen hotel. You will be met by our local driver/representative and transfer you privately to your resort hotel for a 7 night stay. On your return you will be transferred back to the airport for your return flight. You can fly direct from your resort airport to the UK, or via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. If you fly via Istanbul, although your baggage will be checked in straight through to the UK, you will need to change plane in Istanbul. The domestic and international terminals are connected, so you will be able to walk between the two. All airport transfers will be private for your party. All our hotels in Istanbul are in the old district and are 10 minutes’ walk from Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

"Our holiday in Turkey exceeded our expectations. Cappadocia was interesting and beautiful. It was exciting staying in cave. Istanbul was amazing. We had very little previous experience of Turkey and Turkish people, so we enjoyed the beauty of the country and friendly hospitality of the people. We felt safe and not at all threatened in the city. The quality of food and service in restaurants was good. Efes beer is very tasty. We were a little confused on our first day in Istanbul as the tour details implied a bus tour, but all become clear when we realised how close all the sights were to our hotel. We had a memorable holiday. Thank you Akin."

Mr David Hyam, 19.5.2019

"Dear Mr. Koc,I've been meaning to write to you for some time, to say thank you for arranging such a wonderful holiday for us. We had 4 nights B&B at the Empire Palace Hotel in Istanbul, which was wonderfully central - with friendly, helpful staff - and then flew to Cappadocia, staying at the MDC Cave Hotel in Urgup, which was delightful. The location was outstanding and the hotel quite unique. We have travelled all over the world and I can safely say that this holiday was one of the best - full of new experiences including a trip in a hot-air balloon, visiting underground cities, ancient cave dwellings with amazing frescoes and fabulous landscapes. It was fun and exciting. For the first two days of tours in Cappadocia we went with the local representatives, who were excellent and our guide, Mustafa Sahin was outstanding. Thank you again for a brilliant trip and we will recommend your company. We may be interested in Croatia next year. Yours sincerely,"

My wife and I wanted to express our sincere gratitude to you and the team at Diamond Star for arranging a truly unique style of holiday that we are still talking about to friends and family two weeks after we came home. The places we have visited, and the things we have seen were truly amazing, it will take a month or more to sort through our photos" Andrew and June Welch - 24 Oct 2022

"Back from our holiday to Istanbul/Cappadocia what an awesome holiday. The hot air balloon was out of this world. Thank you Diamond Star for making it all possible special thanks to Nazan. I recommend this company to make your dreams come true." Mrs Angela Bailey - 6 Oct 2022

"We arrived home from Fethiye on Monday, and would just like to thank you and Akin for planning an amazing trip. The gulet was fantastic and as usual, the Ece Saray Hotel was lovely. The staff there are some of the best we have come across, and the breakfasts were great. We are looking ahead to 2023 and were wondering if you could arrange a quote for a similar trip." Sue and Mike Fedeczko - 28 September 2022
