Itinerary

Day 1

(Indian dinner included)

After you arrive at Istanbul International Airport, your guide will greet you, offer assistance, and transfer you to your hotel. Istanbul has been the capital city of the Roman/Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman empires for centuries, and it is a fascinating city that spans two continents: Europe and Asia. The city offers a mix of museums, bazaars, minarets, mosques, churches, palaces, and restaurants catering to everyone's preferences, which is why it attracts more than 13 million foreign tourists each year. You will spend the night in Istanbul.

Please check out TSG's optional tours for the night, which are the Daily Turkish Bath Istanbul Tour, Daily Whirling Dervishes Istanbul Show, Rhythm Of The Dance Show.

Day 2

(Breakfast, Indian Lunch and Indian Dinner included)

After breakfast, the tour will depart for a gorgeous Istanbul City Tour. The first stop is Sultanahmet Square, where the Sultanahmet Mosque salutes the Hagia Sophia. The Sultanahmet Imperial Mosque, which was built in the 16th century by the architect Mehmet, is also known as the Blue Mosque because of its magnificent interior decoration of blue Iznik tiles. Next, the tour will explore the Hippodrome; the site of ancient chariot races, and the home of three ancient monuments; the Obelisk of Theodosius, the bronze Serpent Column, and the Column of Constantine. A neo-Byzantine style artifact can be seen on the square German Fountain, which was built in the nineteenth century. When you reach the other end of the Hippodrome, the Hagia Sophia Mosque will meet you with all its grandeur.

After a delectable lunch break, TSG will take you to the bazaar, where you can find exotic spices and herbs, Turkish Baklava, delicious Turkish Delights, Turkish Coffee, nuts and fruits, hand made souvenirs, and more. Dinner and overnight in Istanbul.

Please note: Do not forget to carry a headscarf with you for visits to religious places such as the Blue Mosque & Haghia Sophia Mosque.

Day 3

(Breakfast, Indian-style lunch, and Indian-style dinner are included)

Early in the morning, the tour will move to Gallipoli. With breaks, the tour will arrive there at about noon. Kabatepe Museum is the first place that will be visited, which has a rich weapon, photograph, and garment collection that was used by soldiers during the Gallipoli Campaign.

Ariburnu Cemetery will be next, which was built for the soldiers from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, India, and Malta that lost their lives during WWI in the Gallipoli Campaign. Anzac Cove, Beach Cemetery, Lone Pine, and Chunuck Bair are on the list where the most intense struggles have occurred. While listening to their sad stories, you may feel the cruelty of the war again. Overnight in Canakkale.

Day 4

(Breakfast, Indian-style lunch, and Indian dinner with alcohol and soft drinks are included in Kusadasi)

At about 9:00, after a delicious breakfast, Troy will be seen on the horizon. The well-known archeological and mythological site is the scene of the Trojan War and the endless love of Helen and Paris.

The lunch break will be around 13:00 in Bergama. On the magnificent acropolis of Pergamon, temples and libraries that were the riches of their time will be visited. Did you know that Marcus Antonius gave all the parchments in this library to Cleopatra as a gift? You will learn more on the tour. There will be a 30-minute shopping break in Bergama because it is famous for its jewelry, stones, and silver goods. Overnight in Kusadasi.

Day 5

(Breakfast, Indian Style Lunch and Indian dinner, alcohol and soft drinks included)

The departure to visit Ephesus, one of the best preserved ancient sites in the world, will be early in the morning. In Ephesus, you will visit the Temple of Artemis, Curetes Street, the famous Roman Baths, the Celsus Library, the Grand Theatre, and have a lunch break at a small Turkish restaurant.

We will travel to Sirince Village after lunch, which has a great reputation for producing regional wine in Turkey, particularly fruit wines. The 19th-century neighborhood of Sirince still has its original architectural details and is well-known outside of the nation. It is famous for its homemade wines that are specially made from different kinds of fruits, such as blackberries, blueberries, melons, and strawberries. In the evening, you will be tested on your knowledge of making fruit wine. On the way back to the hotel, we will stop at a carpet weaving center or a leather production center for shopping. Overnight in Kusadasi.

We have a special Diwali Party Night planned for tonight, starting at 19:30 and ending around 23:30-24:00.
