🎈CAPPADOCIA AND ISTANBUL INCLUDING HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE FROM £1,939
Combine the cosmopolitan east-meets-west vibe of Istanbul with the haunting natural spectacle of Cappadocia in this iconic twin centre adventure, with an included River Cruise in Istanbul and Hot Air Balloon ride in Cappadocia.
Begin with 4 nights in Istanbul. In Turkey’s largest city, it’s very much the case of two’s company; it sits across two continents, links two seas and was once at the epicentre of two vast empires, Ottoman and Byzantine. It was the gateway to the Silk Road, a network of trade routes that branched out across Asia, and it very much wears its history on its sleeve. The city is packed with heritage sites, including mosques, bazaars, palaces, churches and city walls.
INCLUDED EXPERIENCE: Embark on an exciting offshore adventure as you sail the sights of the stunning Bosphorus, the strait that runs through Istanbul, separating Europe and Asia. The tour will begin with a brief stop at the aroma-packed Spice Bazaar before cruising the Golden Horn. Float along the glittering waters and soak up the strait’s shore-lined sights.
Head to Cappadocia for your final 3 nights. Visiting Cappadocia feels as if you’ve tripped and fallen into a surrealist masterpiece. Millenia of natural erosion has carved out cliffs, cones and pinnacles from the layers volcanic rock while manmade manipulation of this soft rock has resulted in a network of tunnels, caves and underground cities that once housed entire communities. This otherworldly landscape totally justifies its epithet, the ‘land of fairytales’, especially when the hundreds of iconic hot air balloons soar up into the sky at dawn of still days.
INCLUDED EXPERIENCE: Take an early-morning hot air balloon ride to witness the natural phenomena that makes up the area's landscape. Gaze in awe as you rise above the natural structures for a truly iconic experience.
