About the trip

Begin in Istanbul, where you’ll walk the grounds of the Topkapı Palace, once home to sultans, and the imposing Hagia Sophia, a monument turned mosque turned museum. A private cruise on the Bosphorus offers views of a city straddling two continents, with a street food lunch in Kadıköy adding a dash of everyday life to the grand history.

Along the Aegean coast, Bodrum provides a chance to relax by the sea after visits to ancient sites like Heraklia by Lake Bafa. The towering ruins of Ephesus are notable for their scale and detail, while a serene stay at a winery in Selçuk reveals a quieter side to the region.

The final leg leads to Cappadocia, where the Göreme Open Air Museum displays a cluster of ancient churches carved in volcanic rock. Round off your time with a gondola ride along the Red River and a farewell dinner in a cave restaurant, experiences that bring the region’s unique landscape and traditions to life. This escorted tour runs over ten nights with a group leader from G Adventures ensuring smooth connections along the way.
