Cappadocia
Adventure awaits
Your journey begins in the dreamlike town of Uchisar, the highest point in the semi-arid Cappadocia region, speckled with distinctive fairy chimney towers and pigeon houses. The Argos in Cappadocia hotel is where you will stay – in a luxuriously rustic castle that merges its surroundings with both traditional and modern décor. Spend the next few days exploring the Love Valley, gently drifting over the town in a Hot Air Balloon, visiting the vibrant Goreme Open Air Museum, discovering the Kaymaklı Underground City, enjoying local wine in the Red Valley, and having the opportunity to either go on a quad bike safari, go picnicking and horse riding through the valleys, visit age-old wineries, or witness an authentically Turkish Whirling Dervishes performance.

For the Istanbul leg, you will be based at the elegant Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus. You will start your time in this historically-rich cosmopolitan city with a sunset cruise with local Turkish wine, dried figs, almonds and pistachio along the Bosphorus Strait – the body of water separating the European and Asian parts of the intercontinental city that is Istanbul. Over the next few days, you will discover Istanbul of the Byzantine Era with visits to the celebrated Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern of Istanbul, as well as Istanbul of the Ottoman Era with visits to Topkapı Palace and the iconic Blue Mosque. You’ll also be able to enjoy a day trip to the Asian side with a city tour in a vintage car and shop in the epic Grand Bazaar, bringing your trip to a close with memories and souvenirs unlike any other.
