Hot air balloons over fairy chimneys, Byzantine grandeur, and Bosphorus magic
Turkey is where East meets West in the most spectacular fashion. Istanbul straddles two continents with Byzantine domes, Ottoman palaces, and the Bosphorus. Cappadocia's surreal lunar landscape of fairy chimneys becomes even more magical when dozens of hot air balloons float past at sunrise. Pamukkale's white calcium terraces and ancient Ephesus complete this extraordinary Turkish odyssey.
Cappadocia's hot air balloon sunrise is consistently voted one of the world's top travel experiences — nothing quite prepares you for 100 balloons silently floating over a lunar landscape.
Turkey has been home to 13 civilisations — Hittite, Phrygian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman. The density of extraordinary heritage sites is unmatched in the Mediterranean.
Turkey offers European-quality cuisine, architecture, and luxury accommodation at significantly lower prices than its Western European counterparts — exceptional value.
