Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Day 1	Istanbul	Stretch those legs in the backstreets of Istanbul in search of the city's hidden charms and watch the sun set over the Sultanahmet skyline.
Days 2-3	Canakkale	Today we stroll through history as we tour the battlefields of Gallipoli and look for shipwrecks as we snorkel in Anzac Cove. Bring your bathers and your tissues you will need both of them.
Day 4	Selcuk	Visit the historic Roman ruins of Ephesus before returning to Selcuk. A great way to enjoy free time here is by indulging in a bath at the local hamam.
Day 5	Fethiye	The seaside town of Fethiye provides a chance to visit the ghost-deserted Greek village of Kayakoy, paraglide off nearby Mt Baba or take a walk in the awesome Saklikent Gorge.
Day 6	Faralya	Hike the ancient trails of the Lycian Way, through olive groves, carob gardens and ancient relics. Visit remote villages and take in stunning views of the Mediterranean along the way
Day 7-9	Kas	Trek along pine clad mountain tracks and arrive in Kabak, Turkey's coolest chillout destination, then take an afternoon swim in the famous Blue Lagoon. Exchange hiking boots for oars on a kayaking adventure. Check out a sunken Byzantine city, hidden coves and traditional fishing villages before heading to pretty Kas. Pedal power is required as we collect our bikes load them on our jeeps and head to the hills. Here we get to cycle through some of the best country side Turkey has on offer with views of the fabulous Turquoise coast. We will get to see some village life and enjoy a picnic along the way.
Days 10-11	Pamukkale	The chalky terraces of Pamukkale and the hot springs of Heiropolis make a fascinating visit before catching an overnight train. On Arrival in Istanbul we will take an early morning ferry ride across the Bosphorus to the European shore and marvel at Istanbul's stunning skyline.
Day 12	Istanbul	The tour finishes at mid-day so make sure you take the time to visit the Rustem Pasha Mosque, Suleyman the Magnificent's mosque complex, the Topkapi Palace and iconic Blue Mosque before saying goodbye to wonderful Turkey.
