Instanbul
The splendid city has
multi-cultural landmarks, historical influence. Old Istanbul, filled with
places to explore, we recommend you not to miss exploring the glorious
historical Ottoman and Byzantine landmarks like Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia
Sophia, and Hippodrome.
The underground Basilica

Cappadocia
A rocky, relatively dry
terrain but a site worth visiting once in a lifetime. It has got magical fairy
chimneys formed due to volcanic eruptions, mountains, cave hotels and hot air
balloon rides, we all long to take. It`s
small and not at all modern like big cities but it has its own charm, with
history and activities you can only experience there. Watch scenic views of
Cappadocia at sunrise/sunset in hot air balloon is the best experience.
Pigeon valley, Goreme open

and historic wunderkinds. Enjoy quad biking, horse riding on rough terrains.
Experience Turkish cuisine made with local ingredients and meet welcoming
locals.
