We worked hard to make a good plan for you to get different tastes of Turkish culture and cuisine as well as the history which will never come to an end to tell… This is Anatolia; a cradle of civilisation, a melting pot in other words.

The day after you arrive in Istanbul, our journey together begins.. First day, you will have the walking tour at the historical peninsula of Istanbul; Topkapi Palace with Treasury and Harem sections, Hagia Sophia which once had the largest dome, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque that was decorated with the blue tiles and the ancient Hippodrome will be there.

Then, you will have a blue cruise through Bosphorus and you will be seeing Rumeli Fortress which seems unique at its own place and then you visit Sariyer and Ortakoy where you can taste “Kumpir” mashed potatoes with garnitures. Last day in Istanbul , we have only one visit to the enormous Istanbul Archaeological Museum where you will be seeing artifacts from earliest ages to Ottomans.

After a domestic flight to the magical land - Cappadocia, you will rest at your hotel. The next day you will wake up like in a dream at your cave hotel, and start your journey seeing the fairy chimneys in Pasabag, the rock-cut churches with amazingly well-preserved frescoes and dwellings in Goreme Open Air Museum and then Zelve Open Air Museum. Next morning you will have an early wake up for the hot air Balloon ride for the best pictures you can take and the best sun rise you can see ever! After a while of rest, you will visit the underground city of Ozkaymak, once a place of refugee for 15,000 Christians, witnessed their bedrooms, church, meeting hall and food storage rooms. Next, drive to Avanos where you will be crossing the Red River and seeing the local pottery makers which was the earliest art here. You have your domestic flight to Izmir and rest at the hotel.

This morning you wake up most probably in a peaceful village and meet your local guide to see maybe the best preserved Greco-Roman ruins at Ephesus and then the Archaeological Museum to have an idea about the artifacts mostly from Ephesus. Once archbishopric during the Byzantine ages, the Basilica of St. John is another sightseeing during that day. The best preserved Greek city of Priene will welcome you with all its peace. Once a very large metropolis of Miletus is now mostly full of water of rain and partly marsh of the River Meander which silted in the city’s harbour throuhg the ages. The oldest oracle center of Anatolia Temple of Apollo at Didyma will be one of the highlights of the day with its two standing original columns. Doganbey village, where the old Greeks used to live, will charm you with its natural beauty and peace as well. Next day, you head to inland to visit the unbelievably preserved ruins at Aphrodisias within the poplar trees and drive to Pamukkale both to see the white terraces of thermal pools and the ruins of Hierapolis as well.

Antalya, which is the southern coast of Turkey, welcomes you with its all natural and historical beauties. After 3 to 4 hour drive, yo arrive in Antalya and visit the old town where you are to see the historical buildings from both Roman and Selcuk times while you are wandering at the today’s streets. Another day that you will be amazed with the best preserved Roman theater of Anatolia at Aspendos. Afterwards, a visit to Perge, where you will witness the history and the glory of a major Roman city. Side is another gifted site with its natural geography and beauty, situated right on the water. Ancient Side hosted the breathtaking Temple of Apollo where Marc Anthony and Cleopatra met, so this is a must see place that you have to check out! End of the tour.

St. Nicholas Church in Demre will be the most striking sightseeing the next day. It is so believed that St. Nicholas passed away in Myra and was buried at this church here. Myra, which was another Lycian & Roman ancient city popular with its rock-cut tombs and its Roman theatre. Myra, is one of the most visited sites in Antalya. It will be great to complete the day with a visit to the Lycian Civilization Museum with the sections of amphoras, unbelievable masks, daily tools and so on. At the end of the day we drive to Kas which is one of the most charming towns of southern Turkey, located right on the water with stone houses around and the bougainvilleas everywhere. This is where you will stay over night.

Another ancient city hidden on the hills, Tlos will be impressive with its rock-cut tombs built on the very steep slopes. Climbing on the Acropolis of Tlos will be a good exercise. A natural beauty, 18 km long Saklikent Canyon that was formed by the local streams will be breathtaking to walk through and touch the ice cold water. Afterwards, head to Fethiye for stay over night there.

The last day of your vacation you are to take a regular boat at Dalyan to see Caretta Carettas and blue crabs. It will be nice to view the slopes with the rock-cut Tombs.
