Turkey Tour Description:
Istanbul
First and foremost, the transcontinental city of Istanbul is a fascinating blend of East and West, straddling the Bosphorus Strait between Europe and Asia. Moreover, marvel at the iconic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace, remnants of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Additionally, lose yourself in the Grand Bazaar’s labyrinth of covered markets, and indulge in the city’s vibrant culinary scene.
Cappadocia
Subsequently, venture deep into the heart of Cappadocia, a geological wonderland famous for its unique “fairy chimney” rock formations and ancient cave dwellings. Simultaneously, take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise for breathtaking views of the lunar-like landscapes. Furthermore, explore the underground cities of Derinkuyu and Kaymakli, and visit the rock-cut churches adorned with frescoes in the Göreme Open-Air Museum.
Pamukkale
Next, witness the breathtaking natural wonder of Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its stunning white travertine terraces and thermal pools. In addition, the calcite-laden waters have formed an otherworldly landscape of petrified waterfalls and basins over millennia. Consequently, after admiring the ethereal scenery, take a rejuvenating soak in the ancient Roman ruins of Hierapolis.
Hierapolis Ancient City
Situated atop the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, the Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis boasts an impressive array of well-preserved ruins, including a vast necropolis, an ancient theater, and the remains of temples, baths, and churches. Moreover, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the Archaeological Museum, which houses an extensive collection of artifacts from the site.
Antalya City
Finally, Antalya, a vibrant coastal city on the Turkish Riviera, offers a perfect blend of ancient history and modern amenities. First of all, stroll along the charming Old Town (Kaleiçi) with its narrow streets lined with Ottoman-era houses and the impressive Hidirlik Tower. Alternatively, relax on the city’s pristine beaches, or embark on a boat tour to explore the nearby Roman ruins of Aspendos and the Düden Waterfalls.
