About Istanbul – History, Culture, and the Magic of the Bosphorus

With its 8500-year history, Istanbul is one of the world's most important historical and cultural centers, having hosted the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, Süleymaniye Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Galata Tower, Maiden's Tower, and the Historical Peninsula area are among the most visited tourist spots worldwide. Every year, millions of tourists embark on a unique journey with Istanbul's architecture, history, and cultural fabric.

One of Istanbul's most striking features is that it is one of the rare cities that unites two continents. The connection of the European and Asian sides via the Bosphorus Bridge, FSM Bridge, and Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge; while creating a strong network for intra-city transportation, the captivating atmosphere along the Bosphorus line makes Istanbul a privileged travel destination worldwide. With its gastronomy culture, social life, shopping malls, and coastal routes, Istanbul is a global city that attracts a high volume of tourists throughout the four seasons.

Due to its dense population, complex traffic structure, and vast geography, transportation in Istanbul can be challenging, especially for visitors. Destina Transfer offers a safe, fast, and comfortable transportation service with VIP vehicles with private chauffeurs between Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW), hotels, convention centers, ports, business centers, and tourist spots. This service, ideal for tourists, business people, and families, provides a wide range of solutions such as airport welcome, daily chauffeur-driven car rental within the city, and private tour transfers.
