Your adventure begins in Istanbul, where you’ll visit the historic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and the bustling Grand Bazaar. You’ll be taken through the cultural heart of Turkey, experiencing its rich Byzantine and Ottoman history, before moving on to the beautiful coastal city of Kusadasi.

The next stop is the ancient city of Ephesus, where you will walk through some of the best-preserved ruins in the world, including the Temple of Artemis and the House of Virgin Mary. From there, you’ll head to Pamukkale, the "Cotton Castle", famous for its thermal springs and stunning white travertine terraces. Here, you can relax and swim in the warm waters while taking in the breathtaking natural beauty.

As you journey along Turkey’s stunning Mediterranean coast, you’ll stop in Fethiye for a boat trip to the 12 Islands, known for their crystal-clear waters and secluded bays. Afterward, you’ll continue to Antalya, where you’ll enjoy cable car rides, the stunning Duden Waterfalls, and the charming streets of the old town, Kaleici.

The next leg of the tour takes you to Konya, the home of the famous philosopher Mevlana and the Whirling Dervishes. Here, you'll visit the Mevlana Museum and explore the rich Sufi culture before continuing to Cappadocia, where fairy chimneys and underground cities await. The unique landscapes of Cappadocia are best experienced with a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, followed by visits to the Goreme Museum and Pasabag Valley.

On the final day, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Underground Cities before flying back to Istanbul. Throughout the tour, you’ll stay in comfortable hotels, enjoy guided tours, and travel in an air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicle.
