The city of Algiers is built on a slope facing the Mediterranean, its white facades giving it the name it carries in French. It reads in two layers: nineteenth century boulevards and arcaded fronts below, and above them the stepped lanes of the Ottoman-era Casbah, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1992. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and AJet fly direct from both Istanbul airports, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 3 hours 40 minutes. The Roman city of Tipaza and the coastal towns are within a day trip.
