Trip Itinerary

Day 1 – 2

Istanbul: Where East meets West

28 April – 4 May 2025 Istanbul, Cappadocia

Step into Istanbul, where the grandeur of empires, the energy of bazaars, and the serenity of the Bosphorus create an unforgettable first impression.

We explore the crown jewels of the city – the Hagia Sophia, an architectural wonder that has stood the test of time; the Blue Mosque, with its stunning blue-tiled interiors; and the Topkapi Palace, once home to Ottoman sultans. The Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s oldest and liveliest markets, is our next stop, where endless alleys of spices, textiles, and antiques tempt even the most seasoned traveler.

But the real magic begins when we retreat to our luxurious boutique stay in the heart of Istanbul – a place where heritage meets modern elegance, offering breathtaking views of the Bosphorus and a spa experience that will leave you rejuvenated.

We end day 2 on a sunset Bosphorus cruise, sipping Turkish tea as the city’s skyline lights up in golden hues – a fitting start to this extraordinary journey.

Day 3 – 4

Cappadocia – The Fairytale Land

Wed, 30 Apr – Thu, 1 May 2025
Cappadocia

A short flight whisks us away to Cappadocia, where nature and history have conspired to create something truly otherworldly. As dawn breaks, we embark on a hot air balloon ride (optional), soaring over dramatic rock formations and ancient cave dwellings.

On the ground, we step back in time at the Goreme Open-Air Museum, a UNESCO-listed site where churches carved into rock house frescoes from centuries past. Then, we descend into an underground city, an intricate maze of tunnels and rooms where civilizations once sought refuge

The evening takes an adventurous turn as we embark on a sunset horseback ride (optional) through Cappadocia’s otherworldly valleys. Often called the “Land of Beautiful Horses,” this region is best explored the way ancient travelers did – on horseback. As we ride through Rose Valley and Sword Valley, the sun dips below the horizon, bathing the landscape in shades of crimson and gold.

Our stay in Cappadocia is nothing short of extraordinary – a luxury cave hotel, seamlessly blending ancient charm with modern indulgence. Here, you’ll sleep in rooms carved into rock, complete with plush interiors and panoramic valley views that will take your breath away.

By night, we embrace the region’s mystical culture with a Turkish night show, featuring whirling dervishes, folk performances, and a lavish Anatolian feast.

We curate small-group tours, to beautiful destinations across the world

Day 5 – 7

Indulgence, Exploration & Farewell

Fri, 2 May – Sun, 4 May 2025
Istanbul

After days of adventure, it’s time to slow down and soak in the finer things in life. Day 5 is all about indulgence, starting with a lavish Turkish breakfast experience, where cheeses, honey-drizzled pastries, olives, and freshly brewed çay set the tone for the day. Then, we step into a centuries-old hammam, where warm marble, aromatic steam, and a deeply relaxing massage transport you to an era of Ottoman luxury.

The indulgence continues with a curated Turkish food experience, for which we gather for a stunning fine-dining experience at a rooftop restaurant, toasting to the journey so far with breathtaking Bosphorus views.

Day 6 is intentionally kept free for you to explore Istanbul your way. Revisit your favorite spots, hunt for last-minute souvenirs at the Grand Bazaar, sip Turkish coffee in a charming alleyway, or dive into a hidden gem like the Basilica Cistern. Whether you’re shopping for handcrafted ceramics, exploring colorful Balat, or simply watching the ferries glide across the Bosphorus, today is about creating your own perfect ending to this journey.

On Day 7, we gather for a final breakfast at a cozy café, reflecting on the incredible memories we’ve made. As we bid farewell, we leave not just with souvenirs, but with stories, friendships, and an experience that will stay with us forever.
