How to take a flight Kyiv-Istanbul?
You can take a direct flight Kyiv-Istanbul under the wing of a domestic carrier, Ukraine International Airlines (UIA), or on board the budget airline Turkish Airlines. The flight duration on the Kyiv-Boryspil – Istanbul-Atatürk (less commonly Sabiha Gökçen) route is about two hours. However, the cost of airline services differs significantly: if the Ukrainian company asks on average one and a half thousand hryvnias for a one-way flight, the Turks will charge at least about two thousand.
Alternatively, you can consider a connecting route. Such services are offered by international airlines such as Aegean Airlines (Athens), Air Moldova (Chisinau), Transaero (Moscow), LOT – Polish Airlines (Warsaw), Dniproavia (Dnipropetrovsk), Belavia (Minsk) and others. It is worth noting that such a trip will be more expensive than a direct one. However, by booking your ticket in advance, there is always a chance to save a lot.
When to take a flight Kyiv-Istanbul and what to see in the city?
The proximity of the sea creates a mild and rather changeable climate in Istanbul. In the warm season it is hot, in the cold season it is moderately rainy, sometimes snowy. During the day, there is a tendency for sudden weather changes, and instead of clear sunshine, there is always a risk of gray gloom. For most of the year, prices for flights Kyiv-Istanbul are fairly stable. However, the peak occurs during the velvet season, and the minimum occurs in winter and early spring.
Istanbul is rich in attractions. Among them:
• Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia
• Topkapi Palace

• Basilica Cistern
Also, while in Istanbul, you should take a walk along the Bosphorus, visit the "Turkish Paris" on Cezayir Sokak, visit the Princes' Islands and taste fish in the Anadolu area. Book your flight in advance!
