TOUR ITINERY

DAY 1

After your last morning on our boat, we will pick you up around 8:30 after your breakfast. We will be heading to Pamukkale with our latest model fully air-conditioned Bus. Our Guide will give you warm welcome and all information about Turkey during the journey. The route is both interesting and spectacular giving you a true insight in the diversity of the country.

Once we arrive in Pamukkale we will have our lunch in a 5* star Hotel and get refreshed. In the afternoon you will be visiting the skirts of Pamukkale travertines and Hierapolis, the city of the Gods.

Situated above Pamukkale, white travertine pools is one particularly spectacular location fed by the hot springs. Here you can bath in the same waters in which Cleopatra once swam! A professionally run modern spa facility allows you to enjoy these historical healing waters.

Unlike the white water of the lower pools the Antique Pool favoured by Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, is pure clear warm water. Once it was surmounted by a Roman Temple to Apollo with ornate roof held up with Doric columns. Imagine how Cleopatra must have experienced this when you imagine it in it's glory day.

We will be staying in a Richmond Pamukkale Hotel 5 * near by Pamukkale. After dinner you might like the visit the famous Spa in our Hotel and end your day with a perfect massage.

DAY 2

After an open buffet breakfast we will check out from our hotel and start our journey to Ephesus Ancient city.

The ancient city of Ephesus is Turkey’s most important ancient city, and one of the best preserved and restored. One can still stroll for hours along its marble streets passing temples, theatres, houses and statues. It contains such grand public buildings as the impressive Library of Celsus, the theatre, the Temple of Hadrian and the sumptuous Temple of Artemis which is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Our guide will take you back in time when you are walking between the ruins of Ephesus, our other stop will be the Virgin Mary’s House which became a major place for Christian pilgrimage.

We will have our lunch in a local restaurant that is famous with it’s traditional skewers. At the end of the day we will go to our hotel in Kuşadasi town.

DAY 3 & 4

We will have an early departure to Izmir airport to catch our flight to Kayseri which is only 40 min. away from Cappadocia region. After 1 hour flight we will be in Kayseri. We will be welcomed by our driver at the airport and we will be transferred to our Cave Hotel. Once we check in to our hotel, prepare yourself to take a brief journey into the Cappadocian region, where Mother Nature painstakingly worked miracles that defy the imagination and where the living elements of history, culture, art and society are inextricably linked. As being a sanctuary for early Christians, Cappadocia is an open air museum full of unequal natural and cultural components.

The name Cappadocia suggests the towns of Uçhisar, Göreme, Avanos, Ürgüp, Derinkuyu, Kaymaklı and Ihlara, where the land has been shaped into fantastic forms over the course of millions of years. Fairy chimneys that seem mysterious and cities and houses of worship that extend many meters deep into the earth are all enveloped in an atmosphere that is ethereal and unworldly.

During our visit to Cappadocia region we will be visiting; Underground City , Goreme Open air Museum, Uchisar Castle, Pigeon Valley, Paşabağı Valley and Devren Valley. Our guide will organize the route once we arrive there.

BALLOON DAY

Cappadocia is known around the world as one of the best places to fly with hot air balloons. The spectacular surrealistic landscapes combined with excellent flying conditions allow the balloons to gently drift over and between fairy chimneys, pigeon houses hewn into the unique rock formations, orchards and vineyards – through impressive valleys, each with distinctive rock formations, colors and features – and then float up over rippled ravines for breathtaking views over the region.

The Balloon Tour offers a minimum 45 min flight time in the air. You will be collected from your hotel early in the morning, before sunrise and driven to the take-off site. While you are having a light breakfast, you will watch the inflation of the balloon while getting the passenger briefing which explains basic rules & safety measures for the balloon flight. Then it's time to climb into the basket and the highlight of your Turkey trip begins! The take off is gentle – soon you'll be taking hundreds of pictures over the valleys of Cappadocia. After the flight lands, there is a small celebration with champagne and you will receive your flight certificate. You will be driven back to your hotel around 08:30 am just in time for breakfast and continuing on the daily tour.

DAY 5 & 6 &7

iSTANBUL

In the morning of our fifth day we will be transferred to Kayseri airport for our Istanbul flight. After an one hour flight we will land to Istanbul airport.

With one arm reaching out to Asia and the other to Europe, Istanbul is the only city in the world built on two continents. The Bosphorus courses the waters of the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn through the city’s heart.
