- You’ll visit Topkapi Palace, the center of the Ottoman Empire. Its courtyards are adorned with rose gardens and reflecting pools, and the Treasury room has an 86-carat diamond and a sword inlaid with eight-pound emeralds. Another highlight: the Grand Bazaar, a marketplace with more than 4,000 shops and restaurants. Fragrant incense smoke hangs in the air here, and handwoven scarves are laid out on display.
- You’ll check out Anzac Cove, which served as an important battle site during World War I.
- Troy was immortalized in Homer’s Iliad for its role in the Trojan War. You’ll visit these ruins as well as a replica of the wooden Trojan horse that the Greeks used to enter Troy. Ephesus is an archaeological site famous for its well-preserved temples and marble streets; while here, you’ll visit a stone cottage said to have been the home of the Virgin Mary.
- Pamukkale translates to “cotton castle” for its white travertine terraces naturally formed by mineral deposits from water that settled here. The waters flow from the natural hot springs at Hierapolis, a sacred city and UNESCO World Heritage Site perched above the city. Rocky coasts, waterfalls, and gorges make up Antalya, a gorgeous city on the Turkish Riviera. It’s close to Perge, home to the temple of Artemis.
- In the city Aspendos you can tour an ancient 15,000-person Roman theater that is one of the best-preserved on earth. Meanwhile, at the Mevlana Mausoleum, a green-domed lodge, you can see dervishes perform their traditional whirling dance. The New York Times calls Cappadocia “one of Europe’s most dramatic landscapes.” You’ll tour its expansive, cratered landscape that has been likened to that of the moon.
- The tour draws to a close with a visit to Ankara’s Museum of Anatolian Civilizations and its large collection of Hittite artifacts, including some that are nearly 8,000 years old.
- You’ll also have one more leisure day in Istanbul before flying home.

I f this is a first trip to Istanbul Airport travelers should know that travel agents do not meet you inside of airport. You are told that they will be holding up signs and to be on schedule to meet them, but they are outside of building {in front}, not at baggage area. It is a great distance from baggage area to front of airport. Airport does not allow travel reps in airport.
