Istanbul 'hot destination for 2010'
20 Jan 2010
Istanbul in Turkey will be one of the coming year's 'hot destinations', a travel expert has predicted.
The city recently became a European Capital of Culture, with fireworks displays being launched and museums staying open until midnight to mark the occasion.
Katharine Leck, managing director of travel guide publisher Berlitz, said Istanbul has plenty to offer travellers, particularly those planning a romantic getaway in February.
'Istanbul is currently the hot destination and will prove a popular choice over the Valentine's weekend,' she said.
'It's romantic, lively, and as a non-euro destination it is also good value - so an all-round great choice.'
While the Turkish lira has weakened by around 7% against the pound over the past year, the Post Office has warned people planning to visit the country that some holiday items have increased in price recently.
People interested in visiting Istanbul can catch flights to the city with a number of carriers, including easyJet, Turkish Airlines and British Airways.
