Your 3-day tour kicks off with a flight from Istanbul to Kayseri. Head into the moonscape of Cappadocia, for a great introduction to this otherworldly region. Millions of years ago volcanic ash spewed into the atmosphere, only to fall and cover the earth with layers of ash that solidified. It was then carved out by wind, floodwater, and rain to form the lunar-like landscape you see today.
See the Göreme Open-Air Museum, Kaymakli Underground City, the Rose Valley and select an additional option for a sunrise hot air balloon tour. After seeing Cappadocia’s highlights, traveling to Ephesus where you will steep in Turkey’s very old history.
In Cappadocia, enjoy a 4-star boutique cave hotel. In Izmir, a city often cited as the gateway to Ephesus, you will reside in a centrally located 4-star hotel.
