ITINERARY

Istanbul
Welcome to Istanbul, the bridge between the East and the West and an incredible place to meet your new Solo-ish tour mates for a Turkish adventure. Catch an included arrival transfer to the hotel, then join your CEO for an evening welcome briefing before exploring Istanbul’s culinary scene. Connect with your group mates while wandering hidden lanes and stopping at street food stalls for samples along the way.

G Day: Istanbul
Set off on an unforgettable day seeing Istanbul’s iconic sites with a surprise G twist occurring somewhere along the way. Begin with a walk through the heart of the city, seeing the Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and the Basilica Cistern - the largest underground wells in Istanbul. Later, wander through the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest covered markets in the world, a bustling maze of shops selling traditional rugs, ceramics and other colourful wares. Enjoy the rest of the day free to continue exploring or to try out one of the many local restaurants or cafes in the area.

We Day: Istanbul to Cappadocia
Hop on a morning flight to the Cappadocia region and set off straight away to explore the fascinating Göreme Open Air Museum, with Byzantine-era churches and chapels caved directly out of the rock. Later in the afternoon, travel to the nearby town of Avanos for a pottery lesson with a local instructor for a hands-on introduction into this classic artform. In the evening, join a local family to prepare your own traditional Turkish pastry called gozleme using mince meat, cheese, potato, and spinach to create a special and delicious dinner.

Me Day: Cappadocia
The day is yours to do as much or as little as you please in the incredible region of Cappadocia. Choose to join your CEO on a walking exploration through one of the valleys of the iconic rock formations known as "fairy chimneys" or otherwise set off to explore on your own. Some of the many options include an early hot air balloon ride, renting a bike, or visit a traditional Turkish bath. In the evening, re-group with your travel mates for a light dinner and some great views over the landscape.

Cappadocia/İzmir
Drive to Kaymkali after breakfast to explore the underground city, an expansive Subterranean complex built between the 8th and 7th Centuries BC, then continue on to Konya with a lunch stop along the way. Upon arrival in Konya, check out the Mevlana Museum and the mausoleum of Mevlana Rumi, a Persian Sufi mystic, then explore on your own with some free time. Reconnect with your CEO before boarding an overnight train bound for Izmir.

İzmir/Selçuk
Wake up in the coastal city of Izmir and head to the Cornish Cordon area for breakfast at one of the many shops or quaint restaurants along this popular waterfront street. Next, wander through the Agora or “Gathering Place” with your CEO towards the Kemeralti Bazaar before taking a bus to Selçuk. Enjoy free time for the rest of the afternoon and evening with time to explore Selçuk or to relax at the hotel or nearby cafe. Head out with the group for an optional dinner in the evening at one of the many great local restaurants serving up fresh and delicious flavours.

Selçuk
Transfer to Ephesus this morning and enjoy a guided walking tour of the sprawling ancient Ruins. Witness the massive, well-preserved theatre and the two-story library before a stop at the Temple of Artemis, one of the last remaining wonders of the ancient world. In the afternoon, transfer to the village of Çile for a hike down to the coast to the village of Ahmetbet, passing by historical landmarks and taking in the views of the ocean. In the evening, finish off the day a with a fruit wine tasting and enjoy a final dinner with your CEO and fellow Solo-ish tour mates.
