Itinerary

Arrival Day

Once you arrive at Istanbul Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Istanbul, the only city in the world that straddles two continents, so when you explore the streets of Istanbul, you'll see a significant mix of east and west. Before you start the tour, there will be an important welcome meeting, and following the session, you will go out for your first taste of Turkey with a classic – a kebab. You might be very familiar with the shaved meats and pita bread sensation at home, but nothing can beat the kind they wrap up in Istanbul.

Istanbul

Head to the famous Egyptian Spice Bazaar today where you will meet a spice merchant and sit down for a Turkish coffee and enjoy a traditional Turkish sweet. Continue your walking tour to the Sultanahmet and Eminonu, taking in some of the most important sites of the city, like the Suleymaniye Mosque and the Hippodrome. The area around Eminonu has some delicious street food, and the local favourites include roasted kestane (chestnuts), barbecued corn, and of course Turkish delight. In the afternoon, jump on a ferry and in 20 minutes you’ll arrive at the part of Turkey that sits on the continent of Asia in the cool city of Kadikoy. Hit the Sarkuteri (delicatessen) and sample some pastirma (seasoned cured beef), olives, and a variety of tasty cheese? Get some provisions and head out for a picnic.

Explore Bodrum

Take a flight from Istanbul to Bodrum (approximately 1 hour) which is located on a bay on the Aegean coast, and the area is all about hilly landscapes, beautiful coves and rustic villages. Bodrum is a relaxing and a fantastic corner of Turkey, with charming resorts that are adored by sailors and beach-lovers alike. But don’t be fooled. While it may be a favourite among international visitors, the region keeps an authentic side, with traditional Turkish delicacies and magnificent ancient ruins. Check in to the hotel and spend a while exploring Bodrum Town, then take a public dolmus (bus) to meet the local wine-making Yurut family who has been making wine for 20 years, and produces 12,000 bottles a year. Learn about their journey and perhaps find a new favourite drop.
