Istanbul – Canakkale (Lunch, Dinner) Upon arrival, you will be taken on an Istanbul city tour. Visit the Blue Mosque, also known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque. View its glorious interiors and distinctive blue tiles which gave its name as Blue Mosque. Next, view the only remains of Hippodrome of Constantinople, which consists of 3 monumental columns and a fountain. This was where chariot races took place in the past. Then, visit Hagia Sophia which is a former Eastern Orthodox Church converted to a mosque and now a museum; a must-see attraction because of its religious and architectural significance. Thereafter, take a ferry ride cross Marmara Sea. Canakkale – Bergama – Kusadasi (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) Today, visit the city of Canakkale, which hosted many civilizations that lived on the Biga Peninsula in the Last Chalcolithic Age circa 6000 years ago. Very little is known about the identity and lifestyle of these early settlers, and according to some excavations and research, the earliest settlements in the region were set up at Kumtepe. It is supposed that Kumkale was set up in 4000 B.C and Troy was set up between 3500–3000 B.C. The real history of Çanakkale started with Troy. Next, visit the Dardanelles, the brightest cultural center of its time during 3000–2000 B.C. It is a narrow strait in northwestern Turkey connecting the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara. It is one of the Turkish Straits, along with its counterpart the Bosporus. Today’s day tour will end with a visit to the legendary Troy to see the replica of the famous wooden horse of Troy, a vivid reminder of the ancient Trojan War. Kusadasi – Ephesus - Pamukkale (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) After breakfast, set off for Selcuk and explore Ephesus, an ancient Greek city, and later a major Roman city, on the west coast of Asia Minor. It was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League during the Classical Greek era. Ephesus is also one of the 7 Churches of Revelation and holds the House of Virgin Mary. Virgin Mary and St John were said to have lived in Ephesus and died there. After lunch, visit one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - Temple of Artemis. It was a Greek temple dedicated to a goddess Greeks identified as Artemis. Continue to Pamukkale and explore this city, also known as Cotton Castle. It is a World Heritage site, made of fascinating white terraces and pools created by calcareous hot spring waters flowing down the mountain. You will also visit the ancient city of Hierapolis. Pamukkale – Konya – Cappadocia (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) Today, travel to Konya. Visit a 700 year old ancient caravanserai (a ‘hotel’ for ancient traders and travelers on silk road). Next, visit the Mevlana Museum of 13 th century Philosopher Melvana Celaddin-i Rumi, which used to be the cloister for Mevlevi Dervishes. Mevlana was a philosopher and mystic of Islam, but not a Muslim of the orthodox type. His doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and awareness through love. Looking with the same eye on Muslim, Jew and Christian alike, his peaceful and tolerant teaching has appealed to men of all sects and creeds.
