If you’re flying to one of this flag carrier’s 299 destinations and have a layover of between six and 24 hours at Istanbul Atatürk Airport, you can either stay in a daytime hotel for free or take a tour of Istanbul via TourIstanbul. Tours start at the airport’s Hotel Desk and are offered by English-speaking guides five times a day. Travelers will visit museums, historical sites, and religious establishments, and free time is built-in. The tour operator covers the cost of meals, transfers, entrance fees, and the tour guide.
