Treasures of Turkey

Upon arriving at Istanbul New Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökcen Airport (SAW), you will be received by our team at the departure area of the Airport (the details of the meeting will be provided). Afterward, a 1-hour ride to your hotel is arranged and you will have the liberty to take a break. You will be spending the night in Istanbul.

We will begin the day with a breakfast at the hotel before heading off to Gallipoli at 7:30 am. The drive to the battlefields should take around 5 hours. On this day, we shall explore ANZAC Cove as well as various memorials related to World War I. Our guided tour will include visits to ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine Memorial and cemetery, Chunuk Bair Memorial and cemetery, the Nek, Johnston’s Jolly, and the many trenches that are still visible in the wilderness. Once the tour ends, we will be transported back to the hotel, followed by a free afternoon for leisure activities.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, we will be departing from the Çanakkale Hotel and heading south for two hours to reach Troy, the first stop of our tour. This legendary lost city was brought to life once again in 1863 by its rediscovery, and further excavations revealed nine cities on top of each other, dating back to 3000 BC. We will explore the ruins and have the opportunity to see a replica of the Trojan wooden horse, which, as the myth goes, contained Archaean soldiers who took part in the sacking of Troy.

Continuing southward, we will make our way to the ancient ruins of Pergamum, where one of the most inclined amphitheaters of the classical era stands. Finally, we will drive for three hours until arriving in Kusadasi Town, located on the Aegean Coast.

After you eat breakfast at the hotel, you have the whole day to discover Kusadasi Town. The lodging you'll stay in is centrally located, making it straightforward to get to anyplace you need to go. You can stroll through the Kusadasi Town marketplace to observe the nearby life or simply make the most of the shorelines.

On the other hand, you may choose to participate in activities such as Daily Boat Trips, Jeep Safaris, Horse Safari, or Aqua Park…

We will be at your hotel's reception at 9:00 in the morning to take you on a full day tour of the Ephesus Ruins. This outing will cover sights such as the ancient ruins of Ephesus, St. John the Evangelist's basilica, the Ephesus Archeological Museum, the Temple of Artemis, a far-off panoramic view of the Isabey Mosque, and another distant view of the Selcuk Castle. You will have the chance to explore local handicrafts that originate from Turkish tradition, as well as have lunch at a local eatery. After the tour has concluded, you will be returned to your hotel and have the rest of the afternoon to yourself.

In the morning, guests should meet their tour guide at the hotel lobby between 7:30 and 8:00 am. They will then take a three-hour drive to visit UNESCO-listed Pamukkale Hot Springs and the Hierapolis Ancient City. Pamukkale is a naturally-occurring site of hot springs and travertines, a type of mineral carbonate that has been deposited by the water over the years. Visitors will be able to observe artifacts from the neighboring Hierapolis Ancient City while there, and will then have some leisure time to explore the White Terraces of Pamukkale or the Cleopatra Pool (for an additional fee of about 150 Lira per person). Upon the completion of the tour, participants will be transferred back to their hotel in Pamukkale where they will be free to enjoy the rest of the day.

Following a morning meal at the hotel, we will relocate from Pamukkale to Fethiye Town. This will take roughly 4-5 hours. When we arrive in Fethiye, there is some free time for personal activities before spending the night there.

After you have eaten breakfast at the hotel, you have a day to yourself to wander around Fethiye City. The hotel is situated in the center of town, making it easy for you to go to wherever you desire. You can take a stroll around Fethiye Town, have coffee at the marina, or just bask in the crystal white beaches. Fethiye and Antalya are well-known for their sun, sand and sea, so you will be able to take advantage of the popular beaches and rest during your free time.

After your morning meal at the hotel, you will be taken from Fethiye to Antalya. This journey will take approximately 4-5 hours. Upon arriving in Antalya, you will have free time for yourself and spend the night there.

After you have eaten breakfast at the hotel, you have the whole day to explore Antalya City on your own. You will be staying in a hotel situated in the city center, which makes it convenient to get to any spot that you would like to visit. You could also think of joining some optional tours or activities in Antalya, like the Perge-Side-Aspendos Tour, Daily Boat Trips, and Demre-Myra Tour…

The Hotel provides breakfast. The driver will pick you up between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning and take you to Cappadocia by way of Konya. After a 5 hour drive, you will arrive in Konya and have a break for lunch (at your own expense) and visit the Konya Mevlana Museum, which is a school of whirling dervishes. The driver will continue for another 3 hours to arrive to Cappadocia by the evening. You will be transferred to the hotel for a night's stay.

Please be aware that this transfer does not come with a tour guide and the drive time may vary due to traffic. Additionally, there will not be a tour guide for the Mevlana Museum. If you would prefer not to drive for 9-10 hours from Antalya to Cappadocia, we can offer you a flight. Please let us know when you send in your reservation. Last minute requests may not be possible due to availability of the flights.

Commencing at 4:00am and concluding at 8:30am, Hot Air Balloon Flight is an optional activity that is highly sought-after in Turkey. Following a breakfast at the hotel, your tour guide will meet you at the reception between 9:45am and 10:00am to begin your full-day Northern Cappadocia Tour. During the tour, you will visit the Panoramic View of Goreme, The Open Air Museum, The Valley of Three Beauties, The Village of Avanos, The Valley of Devrent (Imagination Valley), and The Valley of Paşabağ. At the conclusion of the tour, which will be between 4:00pm and 5:00pm, you will be taken back to your hotel to have a free afternoon, with an overnight stay in Cappadocia.

After you have your morning meal at the hotel, your tour guide will join you at the lobby between 09:45 - 10:00 am and head out to explore the most renowned spots at the south of Cappadocia. During the journey, you will be able to view the Valley of Red, the Çavuşin Valley, the Valley of Love, the Underground City of Kaymakli or Derinkuyu, the Valley of the Doves, and the Castle of Cavuşin. 

At the end of your excursion, we will transfer you to the airport according to the timing of your flight back to Istanbul. Upon your arrival, our team will be waiting for you at the exit gate with a sign indicating your name. Then you will be transferred to your hotel for an overnight stay.

After satisfying your hunger with a delicious buffet breakfast in the hotel, you have the whole day to discover Old City independently. If you would prefer to be accompanied on a guided walking tour, we can arrange one of our personal Old City Tours. Istanbul boasts an impressive cultural and historical heritage, and so we exclusively offer Private Tours in Istanbul rather than group tours which can be overfilled and hinder your ability to appreciate the significance of Istanbul.

Our team will be at the lobby of your hotel to collect you in accordance with the time of your flight. We suggest you be ready for pick-up 5 hours before your flight departs from Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW). We look forward to welcoming and serving you again!
