Hammam time
Dear globetrotting hearts, in case you missed the memo last month, LUXE has partnered up with Singapore Airlines to bring you a travel column on their brand spankin’ new silverkris.com website as well as the inflight mag (which can also be viewed in full on the website). Each month, we’ll be sharing how to spend 24 LUXE hours in some of our favourite cities.
This month, we uncover Istanbul, the legendary capital of two of the world’s greatest empires, built on seven hills and spanning two continents, with bags of retail, design, wine and dine, spa, sights, museums and culture, not to mention the glittering Bosphorus. We compile it all in one LUXE day, so you can sit back like a Sultan and enjoy this Turkish delight.
What’s more, silverkris.com readers get an exclusive promo code to score 15% off LUXE guides and boxsets. Get ready, jet set, go!
Red (and green) hot chilli peppers
Here at LUXE City Guides, we believe in getting a local’s perspective. After all, our guides are written by editors who are resident in each destination. The whole wide world of the internet has also opened our eyes to plenty of fantastic blogs, many of which are written by locals who are clearly passionate about their city. We’ve asked some of our faves to appear here on LUXEtasy as occasional guest writers. To start, we bring you Yigal and Ansel of the self-explanatory Istanbul Eats, who take us on a lipsmacking tour through the area of Aksaray, or as they’ve dubbed it, Little Urfa, near the ancient centre Sultanahmet. So, without further ado, let’s hand it over to the boys.

Summer’s here, and what better than to kick back on a breezy terrace to while the sultry night away. From a petite Parisian neighbourhood laneway to an oh-so-sexy deck in Istanbul, here are some of our favourite alfresco dinner haunts in Europe. Oh, put those sunnies away, Susan, it’s supper time.
