Trip Overview
Explore the architectural splendor of Istanbul and the natural beauty of the Turkish countryside with AdventureWomen! From Istanbul to Ephesus and the villages in between, experience the life and culture of modern and ancient Turkey.
At the crossroads of East and West, and straddling two continents, it’s no surprise that Istanbul is a cultural and ethnic melting pot steeped in historical legends that reach back thousands of years. The soaring tips of minarets define the city skyline while below, bustling marketplaces, ancient monuments, and non-stop water traffic are part of Istanbul’s daily scene.
Cappadocia
Once an active volcanic region, Cappadocia claims a landscape of surreal beauty—where strange and fanciful rock formations, known as the fairy chimneys, rise from the surrounding countryside. Entire underground villages carved out of tuff, soft volcanic stone, is tucked into this region and we explore the underground passageways, chambers, and monasteries that have sheltered thousands of people through the centuries
Isparta
A province located in the southwestern part of Turkey that is home to extremely fertile land that produces such items as apples, grapes, and roses.
Take part in the annual rose petal harvest Isparta, aptly named “The Land of the Roses”, flourishes with roses and accounts for 65% of the country’s annual rose production.
Lay eyes on the bright white travertine thermal pools at Pamukkale, with healing baths of brilliantly blue and mineral-rich waters.
All great adventures must one day come to an end. This morning, enjoy your last breakfast in Turkey and say “hoşça kalin” to your new friends before departing for the airport.
