Istanbul is Turkey's largest city and cultural capital, straddling Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait — the only metropolis in the world to span two continents. It's home to iconic landmarks including the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar, reflecting its layered history as the former capital of both the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Travellers flock here for the rich blend of history, architecture, and cuisine, as well as its vibrant neighbourhoods like Beyoğlu, Karaköy, and Kadıköy. The city's energy, affordability, and accessibility make it a favourite destination for both independent explorers and group travellers.

Nobody's posted a Mission for Istanbul, Turkey yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.
Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.
Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
