London to Istanbul - Self Guided Trip
Program Overview
Where East Meets West
If you believe that life is more about the journey than the destination, then this trip is for you! Starting in London, you’ll make your way to Istanbul over the course of 17 days, taking in each moment as it comes. Embracing a slow pace of travel allows you to fully immerse yourself in each destination, transforming your trip into a series of rich experiences instead of a blur of sightseeing. Traveling by train and bus, you’ll visit several major cities along the route before landing in Turkey for a four-night stay.
After travelling for 3 weeks and covering over 2,000 miles it’s time for a well-deserved rest as you journey back home. You’ve earned it!

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to all the most common questions about Euroventure Travel Ltd.
What is interrailing?
Interrailing means travelling by train and we are offering you a package with both trains and accommodation across Europe. There are a few buses and ferries involved too, but strictly no flights!
What accommodation types do you offer?
We offer:
Standard dorms – mixed gender hostel dorms (6-14 beds)
Small mixed gender dorms (max. 6 beds)
Female only dorms (max. 12 beds)
Private hostel dorms (ensuites not guaranteed)
3*- 5* Hotels
What do I get when I book a package?
You get all overland travel and accommodation included in the price. That is, all trains and coaches between the first city and last city on the trip and accommodation in the best hostels in each city, or in hotels if you choose this option. You’ll also get a detailed itinerary telling you exactly what trains to get and directions to your accommodation. So all that’s left for you to purchase is flights (if required) and travel insurance.
Can I travel if I'm 16 or 17?
We are more than happy to accommodate 16 and 17 year olds provided we have a written letter of consent of your parent/guardian and at least one member of your group is 18. You will also only be able to book private hostel rooms or hotels, as under 18s are not permitted to stay in shared dorms. Accommodation restrictions apply.
Will I be centrally located?
We understand that being centrally located is a huge part of the trip, and as we are travellers ourselves, we would want to be centrally located too! So we will only chose hostels and hotels which are convenient to get to from a station, and close to the center.
