Begin in Istanbul, the city where continents meet. Walk the UNESCO‑listed Hippodrome, admire the German Fountain, the ancient Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpent Column and the Column of Constantine. The Blue Mosque dazzles with its soaring dome and Iznik tiles, while Hagia Sophia, a 6th‑century marvel, enchants with light‑filled mosaics. After a leisurely afternoon, you’ll fly to Pamukkale, where the surreal white travertine terraces cascade over the ancient ruins of Hierapolis. A visit to a local textile factory adds a modern touch before the journey continues to the Aegean coast.
In Kusâdasi you’ll step back into antiquity at Ephesus, exploring the grand Celsus Library, the Roman Theatre, the marble streets of Curetes and the monumental Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders. A stop at a carpet‑weaving centre showcases traditional craftsmanship, followed by the Seljuk‑era Isa Bey Mosque and the legendary Cave of the Seven Sleepers. The next day brings you to the picturesque village of Şirince, famed for its fruit wines and stone‑carved houses.
After a day in Kirazli village with an optional cooking class and a free beach day at your all-inclusive Kusadasi hotel, you fly to Cappadocia. A full guided day covers Ozkonak Underground City, the frescoed churches of the Göreme Open Air Museum, Cavusin, pottery in Avanos, Love Valley, Devrent Valley and the Three Beauties, with an optional sunrise balloon flight beforehand.

After breakfast you can join an optional cooking class in Kirazli, a traditional village in the hills near Ephesus.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!

Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
