A flight Chisinau – Istanbul is the fastest way to a truly different weekend: Pegasus flies direct from RMO to Sabiha Gökçen Airport. If you prefer Italy or Greece, there is Bologna with a direct Wizz Air flight, and Athens with a layover.
Three free days in November are enough for a new city. We picked three very different options: bazaars and the Bosphorus, arcades and pasta, or the Acropolis and a mild winter.
Istanbul. The Bosphorus, Sultanahmet with Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar. Sabiha Gökçen Airport is on the Asian side, close to Kadıköy, a great area for cafés and food.
Bologna. Arcades covering miles of streets, the two towers and real tortellini. Florence is close by train if you have an extra day.
Athens. The Acropolis, the Plaka district and an evening on Lycabettus Hill. There is no direct flight from RMO to Athens, but avia.md shows all connecting options.
Enter your city, set the weekend dates and compare the options. You will see the total travel time, the layover (where there is one) and the baggage included. Our low-fare search makes it easier to find cheaper days.
Each city has its own food: simit and tea by the Bosphorus in Istanbul, tagliatelle al ragù in Bologna's Quadrilatero, souvlaki in Monastiraki in Athens. In November the weather is milder in Athens and Istanbul; in Bologna, pack an umbrella.
Pick one thing you really want to see and put the rest on the "if there is time" list. In Istanbul, plan for the transfer from the airport, as the city is big. With a layover, check the time between flights and whether your bag is checked through.
Book your flight on avia.md and tick off the first city on your list.
