Begin in the sun‑kissed city of Antalya, where the charming Old Town (Kaleiçi) and historic harbor welcome you. Wander along the turquoise coast, visit the Roman theatre of Aspendos, and marvel at the cascading Düden Waterfalls. From there, a scenic drive leads to the UNESCO‑listed travertine terraces of Pamukkale, where you can stroll the ancient ruins of Hierapolis and dip in the thermal Cleopatra Pool before heading to the bustling town of Kusadasi.
Next, immerse yourself in the grandeur of Ephesus, one of the world’s best‑preserved ancient cities. Walk the Temple of Artemis, the grand theatre, and the famed Celsus Library, then enjoy a leisurely lunch before exploring the picturesque Greek‑style village of Sirince, renowned for its fruit wines and traditional crafts. The journey continues to the heart of Anatolia, where Cappadocia’s fairy‑chimney formations, Göreme Open Air Museum, and the underground cities of Kaymaklı or Derinkuyu await. Optional hot‑air balloon rides over the surreal landscape add a touch of magic.
The final leg brings you to Istanbul, the city that straddles Europe and Asia. Experience the historic peninsula’s timeless streets, the vibrant bazaars, and the city’s rich cultural tapestry. Each day blends guided visits with free time, allowing you to absorb the sights at your own pace while enjoying the comfort of local accommodation and included meals.

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.
