Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome to Istanbul
Meet your private guide at Istanbul airport, who will transfer you to your hotel. Set off with your guide on an introductory tour of the city. Visit the Second Hand-Book Bazaar, one of the city's oldest markets, just next to the Beyazit University. Find ancient tattered volumes of books in any language in the stalls lining the well-shaded pathways. In the evening, indulge in a delicious meal at the posh Istinye Borsa restaurant in the Harbiye district. The food here will be traditional, unique, and filled with familiar Turkish flavors that are elevated to majestic proportions.
Day 2: Exploring Istanbul
Your guide will take you on a city tour to witness the iconic sites of Istanbul. Hagia Sophia is a former Byzantine church constructed in the 6th century. The central dome is both elegant as well as imposing. Marvel at the semi-domes that form large archways at either end of the gallery and help support the weight of the main cupola. Notice the light gleaming off of the marble surfaces. The cathedral became a mosque in the 15th century until it was converted into a museum in the 1930s. Byzantine mosaics can be found on the upper floor of the South Gallery. Continue your journey to Topkapi Palace to view the opulence of Ottoman sultans.
Day 3: Heading to Cappadocia
Meet your private guide at Cappadocia airport, who will transfer you to your hotel. Set off with your guide to explore the narrow and charming streets of the city. The village is constructed into the rocky outcrop climbing up the hillside and surrounded by a landscape that would befit the moon.

More than 10 unique churches form the complex, each decorated with rich murals. Soak in the ambiance that emerges from history's wealth expressed through incredible perseveration.
