During this fantastic cultural holiday you'll explore the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, taking care not to miss Kizilcukur (Red Valley), before discovering Pasabaglari, famed for its fascinating ‘fairy chimneys’. You'll also get to visit the city of Konya (home of the Whirling Dervishes), as well as the Lycian town of Phaselis. Your trip then continues through the otherworldly, breathtaking landscape of the World Heritage listed Pamukkale, before heading out to explore the ruins of Hierapolis.
This is all topped off with a trip to Ephesius, as well as a chance to admire the remains of the walled city of Troy and the sobering battlefields of Gallipoli. The trip comes to an end back in Istanbul, where there is ample time to stroll, shop and relax with a pot of apple tea in the former Byzantine capital of Constantinople.
