Turkey

Our trip to Turkey is a journey through the country’s rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Turkey is one of only four countries that straddles two continents, Europe and Asia, and our journey will take us across this unique divide.

We’ll take a stroll along the Bosphorus River, enjoying the views of the city from both the European and Asian sides. We’ll also venture into Istanbul’s hip neighborhoods, discovering unique shops, cafes, and street art. And of course, no trip to Turkey would be complete without sampling the local cuisine, from savory kebabs to sweet pastries like baklava and Turkish delight.

From Istanbul, we’ll fly to Cappadocia, a region of surreal landscapes and unique geological formations. We’ll stay in a hotel carved into the rock chimneys, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

We’ll explore the fairy chimneys and honeycombed hills of Cappadocia, and take a hot air balloon ride over the region’s stunning scenery (weather permitting). We’ll also have the opportunity to experience the spiritual traditions of the Whirling Dervishes, watching in awe as they perform their ritual dance, spinning to the rhythm of the ancient music. And we’ll enjoy traditional Turkish dishes like gozleme, a savory pastry filled with cheese, spinach, or minced meat, as well as other local specialties.

With our small group size, you’ll get to know your fellow travelers and our expert guides, who’ll share their knowledge and passion for Turkey’s history, culture, and natural beauty.
