The itinerary

8 days, written slowly.

  1. Arrival in Istanbul Day 01
    N°01

    Arrival in Istanbul

    Arrive in magnificent Istanbul, the city that bridges two continents, and check in. Spend a relaxed first evening near the Bosphorus, watching ferries crisscross the strait between Europe and Asia as minarets and domes are silhouetted against the sky.

  2. Old City Istanbul Day 02
    N°02

    Old City Istanbul

    A private guided tour of the imperial old city: the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia, the six-minaret Blue Mosque, the opulent Topkapi Palace of the Ottoman sultans and the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest covered markets. As night falls, cruise the Bosphorus over dinner past illuminated palaces.

  3. Fly to Cappadocia Day 03
    N°03

    Fly to Cappadocia

    Fly to surreal Cappadocia, a moonscape of volcanic 'fairy chimneys'. Explore the rock-cut churches and frescoes of the Göreme open-air museum and descend into a vast multi-level underground city carved by early Christians, ending with a lively Turkish night show of folk dance.

  4. Cappadocia Balloon Sunrise Day 04
    N°04

    Cappadocia Balloon Sunrise

    Float over the fairy chimneys at dawn on an optional hot-air balloon ride, a magical highlight as hundreds of balloons drift above the valleys in the first light. Continue to the otherworldly Devrent and Pasabag valleys and a traditional pottery and carpet-weaving workshop.

  5. Cappadocia to Pamukkale Day 05
    N°05

    Cappadocia to Pamukkale

    Enjoy a scenic drive across the Anatolian plateau toward Pamukkale, pausing at a historic caravanserai on the old Silk Road. Arrive at the thermal-spring town in the evening, ready to discover its famous white terraces in the morning.

  6. Pamukkale & Hierapolis Day 06
    N°06

    Pamukkale & Hierapolis

    Walk barefoot across the dazzling white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, formed over millennia by mineral-rich hot springs cascading down the hillside. Above them lie the extensive Greco-Roman ruins of Hierapolis, including a vast theatre and the antique 'Cleopatra's Pool' where you can swim among submerged columns.

  7. Ephesus & Kusadasi Day 07
    N°07

    Ephesus & Kusadasi

    Step back two thousand years at Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean — the marble Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre and the site of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Overnight in the breezy coastal resort of Kusadasi.

  8. Departure Day 08
    N°08

    Departure
