Itinerary
3 Nights – Istanbul
7 Nights – Turkey Beach
✈ UK – Istanbul (3 Nights): You will first take a flight from the UK to Istanbul. Upon arrival in Istanbul we’ll transfer you to your chosen hotel where you’ll spend 3 nights on a bed and breakfast basis. Istanbul was the capital of the Roman Empire and is steeped in history. It also has a unique blend of Asian and European influences, uniquely straddling the two continents by the Bosphorus Waterway. On the historic European side of the city, the Sultanahmet is one of the city’s major sights, with its stunning Blue Mosque adorned with more than 20,000 Iznek tiles, a fabulous example of classical Ottoman architecture. Another of the city’s architectural wonders is the Hagia Sophia, a former church turned mosque, but now a museum which is deemed one of the best surviving pieces of Byzantine architecture. If you like a good haggle, visit the historic Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, selling jewellery, leather, spices and other Turkish wares. For something more relaxing, why not take a boat trip down the Bosphorus waterway for a great way to see the city, or for a truly authentic Turkish experience, visit one of the Turkish hammam baths for a body scrub and massage.
✈ Istanbul – Beach (7 nights): On your final day in Istanbul we’ll pick you up from your hotel and transfer you back to the airport for your onward flight to south Turkey, where the beaches await.
Upon arrival at your chosen beach area we’ll transfer you to the hotel where you’ll spend the next 7 days on an all-inclusive basis (other boards available if required).
Turkey has so much to offer when it comes to beaches that it will never disappoint. There are areas that have the hustle and bustle of a large tourist resort, featuring everything you could need to keep you entertained, from restaurants and bars, to markets and bazaars. If hustle and bustle is not your thing and you prefer a week of relaxing, then Turkey has got you covered. There are literally thousands of resort hotels available where the most strenuous thing you will have to do all week is think of what you’d like to eat, or which cocktail you would like! The resort hotels are a great way to rest and unwind if you literally just want fly and flop. if you fancy treating yourself, most or the larger 5* properties feature amazing onsite spas. Turkey also caters for everyone’s tastes from boutique hotels and friendly b&b’s to premium 5-star properties. It’s also great value for money too.
✈ Beach – UK: As the final day approaches, you’ll reluctantly be collected from the hotel and transferred to the airport for your flight back to the UK.

I’ve now lost count of the trips I’ve booked with Gavin at e-shores and how he always manages to know exactly what we like and gets a great price - always the same or less than I research myself. Our latest was Greek island hopping to Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and Santorini and the hotels Gavin booked were all outstanding and the typically small, boutique hotels with less crowds. We went out of season (1st - 13th Sept) and everything went smoothly from the airport transfers, the welcome we had at each hotel and the beauty of each island having its own magic. Looking forward to the next trip already booked through Gavin in November! Thank you everyone-shores - the Napiers!

Claire Smith offered invaluable support in arranging our travel by air to Portugal pluse trains around the country, offering a choice of three hotels in every stop. She expanded our initial thoughts of Lisbon and Porto to include fantastic destinations that we would not have thought of - Guimaraes, Aveiro and Sintra. And she suggested tours we might enjoy. She listened. She selected hotels on the basis of what we told her we would like, from the feel of them to their location and the facilities they had. She was on the end of the phone when I needed her and made me feel there would be help at the end of the phone in an emergency abroad. We're looking forward to our getaway, secure in the knowledge it has been tailor maide to our requirements.

As always, fantastic service from Rob at eShores. He responded quickly to any requests and provided excellent support throughout the booking process. This is the second trip we’ve booked with him, and we’ve even recommended him to family members who are now also booking their holidays with Rob. Highly recommended

Our travel consultant, whom we have worked with for a few trips now, was given a wide ranging, complex and extensive overseas tour itinerary to quote for my wife and I. Not only did she return the quote within a matter of days but it was an amazing price and the hotels of our choice were mainly booked. The administration backed up the agreed quote with all relevant documents and we paid the deposit. All was done with the utmost efficiency, accuracy and speed. Wiil be back!!
