Discover Turkey, where Europe and Asia meet to form the cradle of civilization. Your journey begins in Istanbul with visits to the legendary Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and Topkapi Palace, home to the Ottoman sultans for 500 years. You’ll then explore the ruins of Troy, the magnificent acropolis at Pergamum, and the 25,000-seat amphitheater in Ephesus, arguably the best-preserved city of the classical world. You’ll cruise the Turquoise Coast aboard a privately chartered yacht, concluding with three days in Antalya, an exquisite resort with Roman ruins and coastal cliffs. An optional post-tour extension to visit Ankara and the rock formations of Cappadocia is offered.
