Travel story
The hustle and bustle of Istanbul, the strange rocks of Cappadocia,
what I remember later is the quiet time and the shape of the scenery.
It feels like I took two trips in one country.
ー
A 6-day tour around the old city of Istanbul, the Beyoğlu district, and Cappadocia.
Walking through the history of mosques and bazaars, looking at the rock valleys and the sky filled with balloons,
this is a journey where you can enjoy both the urban culture and the breathtaking nature of Turkey.
Signature points
Experience Turkey with two faces at once
Istanbul, where historical architecture and diverse culture thrive, and the extraordinary Cappadocia, woven with strange rocks and sky.
It is a composition where you can fully enjoy both city walks and natural landscapes.
Enjoy walking through the city from the old town to Beyoğlu
In addition to the old town with Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar,
we also visit Taksim Square and Galata Tower, where you can feel the present of Turkey.
A stroll that allows you to touch local flavors and atmosphere is appealing.
Enjoy the popular Red Tour & hot air balloon to appreciate the land's formations
The Red Tour around Cappadocia, dotted with fairy chimneys, rock valleys, and ancient monasteries, and the scenery that can only be seen during the early morning hot air balloon flight.
You can encounter a world like a sculpture created by nature.

Istanbul (Old City - Walking Tour)
Our first stop is the Hagia Sophia, the 6th-century Byzantine basilica, the largest church of its era, and the architectural glory of the Byzantines.
We continue with Hippodrome Square, which was considered the heart of Constantinople, where the chariot races were held, and the Blue Mosque, a 17th-century imperial mosque famous for its six minarets and its interior blue tiles.
We will proceed to the Grand Bazaar, which was the commercial heart of the old city, and its 4,000 shops are full of treasures—including carpets and kilims, silks, jewelry, ceramics, icons, and leather goods. Wandering through the Grand Bazaar, indulge in some shopping, Ottoman style.
We will stop by for Turkish coffee and the famous Turkish dessert, Baklava, during our walk through the bazaar.

Istanbul (Dolmabahce & Taksim, Beyoglu Area)
We will begin our tour at the iconic Dolmabahçe Palace, the sumptuously decorated 19th-century lavish Ottoman residence on the Bosphorus.
Then, we will proceed to Taksim Square and head down the pedestrianized Istiklal Caddesi (Istiklal Street), originally home to many foreign embassies, now consulates. Formerly known as Pera, this area is now called Beyoğlu.
We will take a peek at some of the most popular restaurants (not necessarily the fanciest) to gain insight into Turkish cuisine.
We will stroll through the Çiçek Pasajı (Flower Arcade) and the adjoining small fish market, feasting our eyes on the displays of fresh produce and trying some of the more unusual delicacies.
We will also sit down to enjoy a Turkish coffee at a tiny hole-in-the-wall spot, prepared by a master coffee-maker.
Our walk will take us towards the Galata Tower, where we will enjoy a delicious lunch together.

Cappadocia (Red Tour)
Today enjoy a full day to tour the riches of this incredible “moonscape” of Cappadocia including the Goreme Open-Air Museum, with its dozens of painted cave-churches. The surrealistic geological formation of Cappadocia is one of the wonders of the world. It is the result of the natural forces during the intense volcanic activity.
Other visits are to Devrent Valley, Pasabag Fairy Towers, and Uchisar Castle as well as many panoramic photo stops. Then we will continue to the pottery-making village of Avanos where you watch clay turning into a form of artwork.
