Duration: 8 days, 7 nights
6 destinations: Istanbul, Bolu, Ankara +3 more

From call-to-prayer soundscapes in Sultanahmet to cotton-white travertines in Pamukkale, this 8-day small-group tour shows you Turkey’s greatest hits without rush. Stand inside the Blue Mosque, shop labyrinthine Grand Bazaar, cross Anatolia to fairy-chimney-filled Cappadocia, trace the Silk Road through Konya, bathe your feet in Pamukkale’s thermal pools and end among Aegean breezes in Ephesus & Kuşadası. Daily halal-friendly meals, English-speaking guides, private coach travel and hand-picked 4 star hotels are all bundled in, making “Merhaba Turkey” the smoothest 7-night circuit for culture-hungry travellers.

Tour highlights

Enter Istanbul’s Blue Mosque before the crowds and hear the history of its 21,000 Iznik tiles.

Duck into Özkonak Underground City, carved eight storeys deep to shelter early Christians.

Walk barefoot on Pamukkale’s calcium terraces and photograph travertine pools that glisten at sunset.
