An introduction tothe most stunning sights and scenery in Turkey.

Discover romantic Istanbul with its mosque studded skyline and exotic bazaars. Experience Turkish life in charming villages with cobbled streets and traditional architecture. Add sombre battlefields, fantastic Roman ruins, stunning turquoise waters and the gleaming white rock terraces of Pamukkale and you have a taste of what this amazing country has to offer.

Day 1 Istanbul
The bridge between Europe and Asia, Istanbul is an exhilarating mix of east and west. The dazzling array of cultural and historical sites include the Aya Sofya, the Sultan Ahmet (Blue Mosque) and an exotic spice bazaar.

Day 2 Canakkale
The stunning natural beauty makes it hard to believe that Gallipoli is the site of one of the most fiercely fought battles of World War 1.

Day 3, 4 Ayvalik
Tumbling down the hill to a harbour, the town of Ayvalik is a perfect escape. Wander the cobbled backstreets with their old Greek houses and cafes and take a boat cruise out onto the Aegean waters.

Day 5 Selcuk
Stroll through the wonderfully preserved Roman ruins of Ephesus. The amphitheatre and city streets are a real highlight.

Day 6 Pamukkale
Below the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, the gleaming white terraces of Pamukkale are visible from miles around.

Day 7, 8 Istanbul
The opulent Topkapi Palace has long been associated with the excesses and intrigues of the Ottoman Sultans. Enjoy one last afternoon cruising tea gardens, coffee houses and carpet bazaars.
