Idea : On
this popular tour, visit romantic Istanbul, the rocky
volcanic cones of Cappadocia, the capital, Ankara and the
turquoise waters off Bodrum. Begin in Istanbul. Stay at the
Hotel, an historic building steps from the city's main
attractions. During flexible touring with your own guide,
visit sights such as the Aya Sofia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi
Palace and the beautiful tiles in its Harem, ancient
underground cisterns, and Istanbul's Spice Market.
Shop for
carpets and kilim, jewelry, glass, textiles and antiques at
the Grand Bazaar. Cruise the Bosphorus, the waterway
separating old Istanbul from new, Europe from Asia. During
leisure time, relax at local cafes, sample street food, and
enjoy your luxurious hotel.
Next,
fly inland to Cappadocia to view ancient frescoes and cave
dwellings, and climb through the narrow corridors of vast
subterranean cities. In Turkey's capital, Ankara, see the
colorful homes in the old quarter, visit the Ataturk
Mausoleum and the acclaimed Museum of Anatolian
Civilizations.
Continue to Bodrum, an ancient harbor town
now popular as an upscale summer getaway. Over three days,
explore the town's attractions, such as whitewashed
neighborhoods, a Roman amphitheatre, the Castle of St. Peter
and the remains of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of
the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Stay at Bodrum's
finest hotel, the hilltop Marmara Bodrum, with breathtaking
views of the harbor far below. Finally, fly back to Istanbul
and stay two nights in a room with a view of the Bosphorus.
