If you are thinking that you will have a particular time only in Turkey, yet you would like to see the highlights here in this wonderful country which is full of magical lands, various cultures, natural beauties, the sea and the sky as far as eye can reach; you pick the right one!

Here we organize the tour for you to taste a bit of everything in 6 days; some nights staying inside the luxurious cave hotels which will be an unforgettable experience, some nights at the most boutique one in a village full of peace and the others right in the heart of the city!

Our vacation will start just the day after your arrival in Istanbul, which is the only city in the world separating two different continents. You will be transferred to your hotel and rest a while to get ready for the next day.

Meeting your local guide with a private vehicle, you are ready to discover that day the ancient Hippodrome which was the old square of Constantinople, where you will also see Hagia Sophia, which once had the largest dome and the Blue Mosque that was decorated with the astonishingly beautiful tiles. The Underground Cistern and Spice Market will be next places to visit. The sites are walking distance today, so you will be wandering around the impressive edifices listening to the interesting stories about them and taking good pictures of those historical buildings. Depending on your wish and timing, you will be tasting traditional Turkish food while you still have time to do some shopping.

You will be welcomed by another local guide in Cappadocia after a domestic flight which takes approx. one hour. Today, please make sure that you will be keeping some unforgettable moments with you forever, at the end of your vacation in Turkey. The best terrain in the area where you can see so-called “Fairy Chimneys” in Pasabag, the rock-cut churches with amazingly well-preserved frescoes and dwellings in Goreme Open Air Museum, Zelve Open Air Museum will be another place making you say OMG!

Early morning for the Hot-air Balloon which will be the highlight of the tour most probably, that will give you the chance to view the terrain from bird-eye view with the beautiful sunrise. Next, you will be transferred to the airport for your Izmir flight, your local guide will be waiting for you to show all the surroundings here in Ephesus that used to be a port city during the Roman times, including the Terrace Houses. A visit to The House of Virgin Mary and to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, The Temple of Artemis will be other highlights during the day. After the tour you can enjoy discovering Kusadasi which is the most western cost of Asia and a neighbour to the Greek Island Samos.

The “Cotton Castle” Pamukkale welcomes you with its charming snow white terraces having the thermal water which is still believed to contain healing and beautifying properties. The area is just next to the ruins of Hierapolis which was partly uncovered and waiting for you to discover its amazing structures such as the theater. You will be having your flight to Istanbul after the tour and be transferred to your hotel.

The last day you take your belongings from the hotel with you and get ready for another memorable excursion – Topkapi Palace with Treasury and Harem sections, which used to be the residence of the Ottoman Sultans for years. Finally, you will be transfered to Istanbul Airport for taking your memories back home.
