From Istanbul to Everywhere: Seven New Routes, One Shared Spirit

There’s a special energy that lives in cities where cultures meet—where coffee blends with call to prayer, where art, history, and hustle mix in the streets. Pegasus Airlines’ seven new routes now bring even more of that spirit to Türkiye, connecting Graz, Bristol, Sharjah, Kutaisi, Luxor, Marsa Alam, and Bilbao directly to Istanbul.

Each city brings a new rhythm, a new flavor, a new story—but when their travelers step into Türkiye’s crossroads, they find echoes of home waiting across the Bosphorus.

Graz – Istanbul: Baroque Calm Meets Ottoman Grandeur

With Pegasus’ new cheap flights to Graz, the Austrian city’s quiet elegance has never felt closer. Graz is a place of steep hills, soft bells, and cafés filled with the scent of fresh pastries. The Schlossberg Clock Tower watches over a tangle of Baroque streets, and the River Mur glides past galleries and jazz bars where the pace of life feels unhurried and deeply local.

Touch down in Istanbul, and that same appreciation for craft and beauty greets you — only louder, brighter, and older. The domes of Süleymaniye Mosque mirror Graz’s steeples, while the city’s countless tea gardens echo Austria’s café culture in a different key. Whether you linger in a Karaköy café or at the Pegasus Café mid-flight, both cities share one truth: the art of slowing down, even in motion.

Bristol – Istanbul: Creativity Flows Where Water Meets Stone

Boarding one of Pegasus’ cheap flights to Bristol means entering a city that hums with art. The River Avon curls through red-brick warehouses now reborn as studios and cafés, while Banksy’s murals still wink from forgotten corners. Bristol’s harbor buzzes with conversation, its creativity built on centuries of connection to the world beyond.

Arrive in Istanbul, and the same creative current surges through neighborhoods like Karaköy and Kadıköy, where galleries rise beside tea houses and street music spills across ferry decks. Both cities thrive where water meets stone — their art not confined to museums, but alive in the streets. It’s no wonder travelers find the Istanbul travel guide feels as fresh and colorful as Bristol’s own back alleys.

Sharjah – Istanbul: Faith and Light Across the Horizon

From Sharjah’s desert glow to the minarets of Istanbul, faith and culture intertwine like threads of the same tapestry. The new cheap flights to Sharjah bridge two cities that cherish tradition without standing still. In Sharjah, museums shimmer with Islamic art, the scent of oud drifts from souks, and the skyline balances reverence with reinvention.

When you land in Istanbul, that sense of devotion feels instantly familiar. The city’s mosques, from Hagia Sophia to Sultanahmet, turn marble and tile into poetry. Sharjah’s evening calls to prayer seem to echo across the Bosphorus at dusk — and for a moment, the distance between the desert and the sea disappears.

Kutaisi – Istanbul: Ancient Hills, Shared Warmth

The launch of cheap flights to Kutaisi links Türkiye directly with one of Georgia’s oldest and most soulful cities. Kutaisi is a place of green hills and gold-domed monasteries, where family tables overflow with homemade wine and laughter. It’s a city built on quiet hospitality and sacred rhythm, where every guest becomes a friend.

Istanbul speaks that same language — though in a different dialect. Instead of wine, there’s tea; instead of vineyards, there are rooftops with sweeping views of minarets. The warmth is unmistakable. The way a Kutaisi host pours wine mirrors how an Istanbul waiter offers tea: with pride, with grace, and with joy in sharing what’s theirs.

Luxor – Istanbul: Civilizations That Speak Across Time

With Pegasus’ cheap flights to Luxor, ancient Egypt feels only hours away from Türkiye’s imperial heart. Luxor rises from the Nile with a stillness that carries millennia — the columns of Karnak glowing gold at dawn, feluccas gliding under pink skies, the Valley of the Kings stretching into legend.

Istanbul answers with its own chorus of civilizations: Byzantine mosaics, Ottoman palaces, and Roman aqueducts layered in living history. Both cities have built eternity into stone, and when you stroll through Topkapı Palace or the Egyptian Bazaar, you feel that timeless kinship between the Nile and the Bosphorus — two rivers that have carried empires and stories alike.

Marsa Alam – Istanbul: Blue Silence and Urban Sea Breezes

The cheap flights to Marsa Alam open a world of coral gardens and clear horizons. Here, divers descend into silence, discovering reefs alive with color and life. The desert begins just beyond the shore, and the sunsets seem to slow time itself. Marsa Alam is the kind of place where you find peace by doing nothing at all.

In Istanbul, the peace comes differently — in motion. You’ll find it aboard a ferry gliding from Beşiktaş to Üsküdar, tea in hand, the call to prayer rolling across the water. Both cities find calm in their coastlines, in the spaces where sea meets soul. Whether you’re exploring reefs or the Pegasus Cafe menu mid-flight, it’s the same kind of reflection — a reminder that serenity travels, too.

Bilbao – Istanbul: Cities Shaped by Art

Pegasus’ cheap flights to Bilbao link two cities defined by transformation through creativity. Bilbao reinvented itself around art — the Guggenheim Museum gleams beside the river, while pintxo bars and avant-garde studios fill the old town with new life. It’s a city that turned steel into sculpture and industry into inspiration.

Istanbul knows that story well. From the spice-scented alleys of the Grand Bazaar to the galleries of Beyoğlu, art here is also rebirth. Both cities have turned their history into canvas and their waterfronts into movement. When you land in Istanbul after your flight from Bilbao, the curves of Hagia Sophia seem to greet the titanium shimmer of the Guggenheim like old friends.

One Hub, a Thousand Reflections

Every city that Pegasus now connects to Istanbul — from Graz’s calm to Sharjah’s light, from Kutaisi’s warmth to Bilbao’s art — carries a part of its spirit. The domes and hills, harbors and mosques, cafés and galleries might differ in form, but the feeling is the same: a shared heartbeat of culture, creativity, and connection.

Wherever you fly from, Istanbul doesn’t just welcome you — it recognizes you. ✈️
