Itinerary
Day 1
Welcome to Turkey! You will arrive after a long travel day, so I’ve planned to ensure you have a relaxing and smooth first day. You’ll be picked up from the airport and transferred to the Nova Plaza Pera hotel in the heart of Istanbul. You’ll have some time to settle in and unwind before meeting all of your new travel besties at the welcome dinner!
(Dinner Included)
Day 2
Rise and shine! It’s time to have the most memorable and picturesque breakfast of your life at the Seven Hills Restaurant! If you’ve never experienced a traditional Turkish breakfast, you are in for a real treat. From your seat on the rooftop, you’ll have amazings views of the Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus Strait. Next, we’ll take a tour through the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Topkapi Palace. We’ll end the day with a stop for some shopping at the largest market in the world – the Grand Bazaar!
(Breakfast & Lunch Included)
Day 6
Get excited! Today is the day that we head to the dreamy fairytale land of Cappadocia! We will take a short domestic flight and a bus ride before arriving at the Mithra Cave Hotel in Goreme Village. Rest up because the hot air balloons come early tomorrow
(Breakfast Included)
Day 7
It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… hot air balloon time!! This morning you’ll have the option to take a ride in one of the 150 hot air balloons that take flight at sunrise, or you can watch them from the hotel’s beautiful rooftop! After enjoying a yummy breakfast, the group will venture out to tour the Goreme Open Air Museum (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and check out the unique Fairy Chimneys of Love Valley. You’ll end the night with dinner and a show at Turkish Night!
(Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included)
Day 8
You’ve got another chance to see the hot air balloons fly this morning! Today the group will visit the famous Galerie Ikman carpet shop. Even if you’re not in the market to buy a Turkish rug, you’ll enjoy all the photo opportunities here! For a small fee, you can even have a photographer do a photoshoot for you! You’ll have the rest of the day free to explore and shop til you drop in the quaint village of Goreme.
(Breakfast & Lunch Included)
Day 3
This morning you’ll experience how Turkish royalty lived during your tour of the Dolmabahce Palace. After, you’ll hop over to one of my favorite neighborhoods in Istanbul – the Balat neighborhood. You will have some time to roam around the cobblestone streets, shop the many boutiques and have lunch with the gang at a local restaurant. You’ve got to try the gozeleme and the chef’s special chicken – seriously SO GOOD. After lunch, the group will enjoy a private yacht cruise on the Bosphorus Strait – complete with good tunes AND a bartender
(Breakfast & Lunch Included)
Day 4
And we’re off! Today we are making our way to the Aegean Sea. First, we’ll take a short domestic flight from Istanbul; then, we will visit the ruins of Ephesus and the beautiful Sirince Village for lunch and some shopping. We’ll then get checked into our beautiful seaside resort – the Charisma Deluxe!
(Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included)
Day 5
Today is a completely free day in Kusadasi on the Aegean Sea! Go shopping, get your tan on, take a dip in the blue waters – today is your day to do whatever YOU want!
(Breakfast & Dinner Included)
Day 9
Bye Cappadocia! This morning we will depart from our cave hotel for the airport and take a short flight back to Istanbul. You’ll have free time to do any last minute shopping, experience a traditional Turkish bath or get a tattoo at the local shop!
(Breakfast Included)
Day 10
It’s not goodbye, it’s see ya later! After saying your farewells, you’ll be transported to the Istanbul airport to return home. We miss you already!
