Then visit the Süleymaniye Mosque, designed by renowned Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, home to the largest dome among Istanbul’s mosques.
Next, head to the Spice Bazaar, a charming marketplace full of color and aromas—ideal for purchasing teas, herbs, dried fruits, local sweets, and of course, spices.

Day 4. Free Day for personal activities.

Optional excursion: “JEWELS OF CONSTANTINOPLE” (includes lunch at a traditional restaurant).
Departure at approximately 08:00 (time to be confirmed by the guide). Explore the historic peninsula and discover the remnants of the empires that shaped modern Istanbul: the Roman Hippodrome, once the social center of Constantinople for thousands of years—see the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Obelisk of Constantine, and the German Fountain. Visit the Blue Mosque, famous for its more than 20,000 handmade ceramic tiles from Iznik. Enjoy a panoramic view of Hagia Sophia, built in 537—a masterpiece of architecture that has served as a church, mosque, and museum. From the outside, its massive dome remains an extraordinary engineering feat and one of the largest domes in the world.

Continue with the majestic Topkapi Palace, home to Ottoman sultans for more than 400 years. Visit the royal gardens, kitchens, and treasury rooms. Discover the mysterious Harem, once home to the sultan’s wives and children, renowned for its lavish decoration. Continue to Aya Irini Church, a Byzantine church that was never converted into a mosque, and end the tour at the Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s largest and oldest covered markets, where bargaining is a tradition.

We suggest the optional HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE (subject to weather conditions).

Optional Hot Air Balloon Ride Details

  • Approx. 2 hours / Spanish-speaking assistance / round-trip transfers from/to the hotel.

  • Operation depends on weather conditions. In case of cancellation, the excursion may be rescheduled for the next day (subject to availability), replaced with the balloon excursion in Pamukkale and/or a combo of excursions, or fully refunded.

  • Departure is around 05:30 to allow enough time, as balloons fly only early in the day to enjoy sunrise views and avoid air currents. Basket capacity depends on the balloon, typically 20–24 passengers. Upon arrival (around 06:00), you can watch the balloon preparation—an unforgettable sight as it inflates with the burners before everyone boards.

Day 7. Cappadocia – Pamukkale

Breakfast (lunch box). Departure at approximately 06:00 (time to be confirmed by the guide) to Pamukkale to visit ancient Hierapolis and the Cotton Castle, a true natural wonder featuring giant white terraces, stalactite-like formations, and natural pools. The name “Hierapolis” comes from Greek meaning “holy city,” referencing the many temples and religious sites that once existed there. One of the most remarkable features is its ancient theater, which could host thousands of spectators and remains largely preserved today.
The city became famous as a spa and healing destination thanks to its thermal waters and white mineral terraces known as Pamukkale (“Cotton Castle” in Turkish). Pamukkale and Hierapolis are jointly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their historical significance and natural beauty. The region is also known for cotton production, and you will have the opportunity to view locally made textile products.
Dinner at the hotel. Overnight.

Day 8. Pamukkale – Selçuk – Izmir/Kuşadası

Breakfast. Departure at approximately 08:00 (time to be confirmed by the guide) to visit the House of Virgin Mary, located on a nearby hill. This site is revered as the final residence of Jesus’ mother, who—according to Christian tradition—spent her last years in Ephesus under the care of the Apostle John. Today, it is an important pilgrimage site for both Christians and Muslims, who consider it sacred.
Lunch en route (not included).

Pass through Selçuk for a panoramic visit, appreciating the Ottoman castle, the Basilica of St. John, and the Temple of Artemis, which established Ephesus as a major ancient religious and cultural center (admissions not included). Continue to a specialized leather showroom, featuring high-quality products made from lambskin, renowned for their lightweight pieces.

Upon arrival, visit the picturesque village of Mesta, a fascinating labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets dating back to Byzantine times. Then continue to Pyrgi, one of the island’s most distinctive villages, known for its black-and-white geometric house patterns called “xysta,” creating a truly unique visual contrast.
Continue to the Mastic Museum, dedicated to the island’s unique resin harvested only here—learn about the collection and production process, valued since antiquity for its many uses.
