Feel the pulse of history the moment you land in Istanbul, where East meets West. As you exit the terminal, a friendly face from Anteros Travel greets you warmly. Your journey begins with a smooth ride through the vibrant streets to your hotel. Breathe in the scent of roasted chestnuts, hear the call to prayer echoing over the rooftops — you're here.

Day 2 Exploring Imperial Istanbul – Mosques, Palaces & Bazaars

Step into a world of empires as you wander through Hagia Sophia’s soaring domes, feel the silent power of Topkapi Palace, and marvel at the Blue Mosque’s intricate tiles glowing in the morning sun. After a hearty local lunch, explore the ancient Hippodrome where chariots once thundered, and lose yourself in the vibrant maze of the Grand Bazaar — a living tapestry of scents, colors, and stories.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch | Overnight in Istanbul.

Day 3 Bosphorus Cruise & Hidden Gems of Istanbul

Sail between continents as your boat glides along the Bosphorus, with Ottoman palaces glittering on either side. Smell the spice-laden air in the Egyptian Bazaar, and stroll cobbled streets in Fener and Balat — neighborhoods painted in faded pastels and steeped in history. Wrap up the day with Turkish tea at Pierre Loti Café, gazing over the Golden Horn as the sun dips behind minarets.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch | Overnight in Istanbul.

Day 4 Into the Heart of Cappadocia – Valleys, Fairy Chimneys & Rock Castles

A short flight takes you to a land that feels like another planet. Cappadocia greets you with surreal landscapes and dreamlike valleys. You’ll walk among whimsical fairy chimneys in Devrent and Pasabag, watch artisans shape clay in Avanos, and uncover ancient Christian frescoes at Goreme Open-Air Museum. Climb Uchisar Rock Castle for a panoramic sunset — the landscape glows with magic.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner | Overnight in Cappadocia.

Day 5 Secrets Beneath the Earth – South Cappadocia Exploration

Today is about discovery — above and below ground. Trek through the crimson-hued Red Valley and the whimsical Love Valley. Descend into a hidden underground city where early Christians once hid in silence. Visit traditional villages like Cavusin, where time seems to have paused, and learn the ancient art of weaving and stone carving from locals who carry centuries of knowledge in their fingertips.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner | Overnight in Cappadocia.

Day 6 Journey to the Aegean – From Cappadocia to Kusadasi

Leave the lunar beauty of Cappadocia behind and head westward to the sunlit shores of Kusadasi. As you arrive, the scent of saltwater and the rustle of palm trees welcome you. Take time to unwind, walk by the marina, or sip Turkish coffee as the Aegean breeze whispers tales of ancient mariners.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner | Overnight in Kusadasi.

Day 7 Pamukkale & Hierapolis – Natural Wonders and Roman Elegance

Imagine walking barefoot over snow-white terraces formed by mineral springs. Pamukkale is not a dream — it's real. Explore the ancient spa city of Hierapolis, with its hauntingly beautiful necropolis and the grand Roman theater. Dip your toes in Cleopatra’s Pool and let history ripple around you.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner | Overnight in Kusadasi.

Day 8 Ancient Ephesus & Return to Istanbul

Walk in the footsteps of philosophers and apostles as you explore Ephesus — one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. Marvel at the Library of Celsus, the great theatre, and colonnaded streets that whisper stories from millennia ago. Visit the serene House of the Virgin Mary, and wrap up with a flight back to Istanbul.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch | Overnight in Istanbul.

Day 9 Free Day in Istanbul – Your Day, Your Way

Today is yours. Maybe you’ll wander the stylish lanes of Karaköy, enjoy a Turkish bath, or sample baklava in a hidden café. No matter how you choose to spend it, Istanbul will reward your curiosity with charm.
Meals: Breakfast | Overnight in Istanbul.

Day 10 Farewell Turkey – Departure Day

After one last Turkish breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye — or as locals say, ‘görüşürüz’ (see you again). Our driver will escort you to the airport, leaving you with warm memories and a heart full of stories.
