Departure: Istanbul
Connecting Europe and Asia, Istanbul is an ancient city with a beauty that transcends continents. Every year, millions of tourists visit Istanbul, one of the world's most popular tourist destinations thanks to the city’s stunning architectural details, its dynamic 24/7 urban life, and its culinary traditions and cosmopolitan atmosphere. The Hagia Sophia, a Byzantine-era monument; Topkapı Palace, an Ottoman Empire landmark; the monumental Süleymaniye Mosque; and the Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest and largest bazaars, are just a few of the historical sites in Istanbul. We also recommend visiting Beyoğlu, Nişantaşı and Kadıköy to experience Istanbul's modern side and Michelin-starred restaurants.
Arrival: Ankara
Ankara, in the heart of Anatolia, is Türkiye's modern capital. Known for its calm and orderly daily life, the city is Türkiye's administrative center as well as an important cultural and artistic hub featuring theater, opera and ballet performances, along with museums and galleries. Ankara is home to the 1st Grand National Assembly of Türkiye, Çankaya Mansion, and popular places like Tunalı Hilmi Street, Kuğulu Park and the Cermodern.
