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.
