Cluj-Napoca Tours to Istanbul from Cluj Napoca
Posted: Sun January 14, 2007 07:10 AM UTC
My husband and I will be in Cluj Napoca for a couple weeks. We are wondering if there are local tour companies that can arrange a quick 2 day tour to see the Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque in Turkey? Would we have better luck with locating a tour from another city - such as Bucharest?

Thanks for reading and any help!

Sorry but its going to take you two days to get there and back, you might be better to look at blue air flights from Bucharest to Istanbul and an internal flight from Cluj to Bucharest.But not an easy thing to do.
Youd be better of coming to visit us in Maramures.

if you will found a tour for sure it will be in romanian language.
I can recomend you to go by your self:

fly: cluj napoca - bucharest - istanbul will cost you 740 new lei
[281 usa dolar] for one person return ticket with TAROM AIRLINES

all the best

Romanian tour companies and airlines are hellishly expensive, but if that's not an issue for you, then the earlier advice about flying to Bucharest and then onwards is probably the best. It's almost cheaper to fly back to the UK on Wizzair and then fly out to Istanbul...
