Day 1 - ARRIVE IN ISTANBUL, TURKEY Welcome to Istanbul! At 6 pm, meet your Tour Director and travel companions for a welcome dinner. (D)

Later, [LF] visit the underground Basilica Cistern, locally known as the "sunken palace". Enjoy an evening at leisure to explore more of this vibrant city. (B)LOCAL FAVORITEHISTORIC SPOT The Basilica Cisternis the underground cistern built during the Byzantine Empire to supply water to parts of the then city of Constantinople. An incredible structure with 336 pillars holding up a magnificent, vaulted ceiling over an artificial freshwater lake. It can be classed as an early example of recycling as the builders made use of stone structures from earlier temples - one of the most famous "recycled stones," that can still be seen, is the upside-down head of Medusa.
Day 3 - ISTANBUL - ANKARA Heart of Turkey This morning, discover a shopper's paradise with a visit to the Grand Bazaar, the largest covered market in the world, spread over 60 streets and location of over 4000 shops!

Depart Istanbul for an interesting drive to reach Turkey's capital city Ankara and visit the Mausoleum of Ataturk, the founder and first president of the Republic of Turkey. (B,D)277 mi / 445 kmTOUR HIGHLIGHTCULTURE & TRADITIONS Founded by the Greeks as Byzantium more than 2,500 years ago and finally called Istanbul after the Ottoman conquest in the 15th century, the city on the Bosporus remains one of the most exciting places in the world. Its strategic location as a gateway between Orient and Occident, the Islamic and the Christian worlds, and the Black Sea and the Mediterranean predestined it for a turbulent yet exciting history.
Day 4 - ANKARA - OZKONAK - CAPPADOCIA Going Underground This morning, visit Ankara's Museum of Anatolian Civilizations with its vast and varied collection of artefacts. Later, drive to Ozkonak for [LF] a guided visit of the incredible underground city that was carved into the volcanic rock around the 4th century BC. Reach your hotel in Cappadocia. (B,D) 217 mi / 350 kmLOCAL FAVORITEARCHITECTURAL FEATS In 1972 a local farmer was curious as to why the excess crop water disappeared so fast - it was the start of the discovery of Ozkonak underground city. This city was formed of 10 levels and built to protect about 60 000 people from religious persecution and war. To ensure they could all survive for up to 3 months the city had its own ventilation system, water supply and moving stone doors with a hot oil defense system. Any attackers trying to enter the city would be stopped in their tracks by the hot oil being poured over their heads!
Day 5 - CAPPADOCIA: EXCURSION TO GOREME, PIGEON VALLEY & RED VALLEY Rock of Ages A fascinating day of "out of this world scenery" awaits! First, drive to Goreme and visit the open-air museum that is the location of over 300 rock-cut chapels and monasteries that have been hollowed out of the curious "fairy chimneys".

(B,D)16 mi / 25 kmTOUR HIGHLIGHTNATURAL WONDER Set on a high dry plateau in Central Turkey, the surreal landscape of Cappadocia looks like it comes straight from a Hollywood sci fi movie. Instead, lava, volcanic ash and natural erosion caused by wind and rain have been forming it for millions of years - sculpting the famous fairy chimneys, the pigeon houses, the tabletop mountains and the badlands with weaving rock formations.
Day 6 - CAPPADOCIA - SULTANHANI - KONYA The Silk Road En-route to Konya, follow in the footsteps of ancient travelers and stop at Sultanhani to visit an historic Caravanserai (roadside inn) located on the Silk Road, the longest overland trade route, stretching over 4000 miles and dating back over 2000 years.

(B,D) 149 mi / 240 kmTOUR HIGHLIGHT MUSIC & MEDITATION Originating from Sufis, a mystical branch of Islam, Whirling Dervishes date back to the 13th century when they were founded by the mystic Persian poet Rumi, the Mevlana Monastery Museum was one of their original lodges. Instantly recognizable in their white gowns, they spin around with their right hand reaching for heaven. A form of active meditation this ritual allows them to abandon their ego, listen to music and focus on God.
Day 7 - KONYA - ANTALYA Pearl of the Mediterranean This morning, enjoy a scenic drive. Reach Antalya, located in a stunning position on the Mediterranean coast, and stop just outside the city in a picturesque spot to take photos of the Upper Duden waterfalls.

Legend says it was founded by refugees from Troy and that two of its most prominent structures were built by two love rivals. The King announced that he who built the structure most useful to Aspendos could marry his daughter. One built the aqueduct and the other the theater, both are still standing today. Whilst the aqueduct was the most useful, the King was amazed that from the back of the theater he could hear the architect whisper, "You should let your daughter marry me," and he did.
Day 9 - ANTALYA - PAMUKKALE The Cotton Castle Depart Antalya and drive to Hierapolis-Pamukkale. Visit the ancient city of Hierapolis, founded as a thermal resort around 190 BC, and said to have been visited by Cleopatra.

(B,D)149 mi / 240 kmTOUR HIGHLIGHTNATURAL WONDER When the mineral rich thermal waters that flowed down the valley side, cooled, and hardened, a series of bright white travertine terraces were formed, each containing a thermal pool.

(B,D)211 mi / 340 kmTOUR HIGHLIGHT HEALING THE BODY & THE SOUL Nestled between hills, the Asklepion retains a sense of serenity and history. The sick approached the temple via the Sacred Way, a path that started their journey to health determined according to what dreams the patients experienced and which also included theatre shows.
