Istanbul: A Tale of Two Continents
No trip to Turkey is complete without exploring Istanbul, the city that straddles both Europe and Asia. Wander through the majestic Hagia Sophia, be awed by the intricate Blue Mosque, and lose yourself in the labyrinth of the Grand Bazaar. As the call to prayer echoes across the skyline, you’ll feel the pulse of a city that’s been at the heart of empires for centuries.
Don’t forget to take a Bosphorus cruise — where you can witness the seamless blend of East and West from the water.
A Land Steeped in History
Turkey is a paradise for history lovers. Walk among the ancient ruins of Ephesus, once a thriving Roman city. Marvel at the unique rock formations and cave dwellings in Cappadocia, and take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise for views that belong in a dream. Explore Pamukkale’s white thermal terraces or visit the ancient city of Troy, where myth meets reality.
Scenic Coasts & Hidden Gems
With turquoise waters and pristine beaches, Turkey’s coastline is nothing short of magical. The Turquoise Coast, including Antalya, Bodrum, and Fethiye, offers idyllic resort towns, cliffside views, and delicious seafood. Island hopping, sailing tours, and beach lounging are all part of the Turkish Mediterranean lifestyle.
A Culinary Delight
Turkish cuisine is a feast for the senses. Enjoy classics like kebabs, baklava, and meze platters. Sip on Turkish tea or strong coffee in a traditional café, and don't miss the iconic Turkish breakfast — a spread of cheeses, olives, jams, eggs, and breads that turns any morning into a celebration.
