Turkey, from minarets to moon valleys.

Land in Istanbul, check in and take a little time to settle. Then we step straight into the city.

We begin around Istiklal Street, wander through older quarters and make our way towards Galata for sunset.

By evening, Istanbul becomes a different place entirely. Dinner, drinks, Bosphorus views and a first taste of the city’s nightlife.

Today is the Istanbul people imagine before arriving. We explore Sultanahmet with a private guide, moving through the historic heart of the city before heading towards the Grand Bazaar.

Later, things slow down with a traditional Turkish hammam. Then the city changes pace again.

A Bosphorus yacht experience around sunset, followed by dinner and another night out for whoever is still going.

Early start. We fly into Cappadocia and trade city streets for volcanic landscapes.

After checking in, we head underground at Kaymakli Underground City, one of the region’s most fascinating historical sites.

By evening, we experience the ritual and stillness of a Whirling Dervish ceremony. Then dinner and a night in a cave hotel.

Today begins before the world wakes up. For those who choose it, sunrise comes from a hot air balloon above Cappadocia. For everyone else, sunrise from the ground is still a very good morning.

After breakfast, we explore the landscapes around Pasabag, Love Valley, Rose Valley, Pigeon Valley, Uchisar and Göreme. There is pottery, cave architecture, strange rock formations and enough viewpoints to make your camera roll mildly unreasonable.

Later, we finish with a sunset horseback ride through the valleys.

We leave the valleys behind and fly west. Welcome to Izmir.

After checking in, we explore Agora of Smyrna, wander through Kemeralti Bazaar and spend the evening around the waterfront.

The pace is deliberately looser today. Coffee, markets, hammam, dinner and whatever the evening turns into.

Breakfast, check out and head south towards Bodrum.

By afternoon, we are on the water. A private gulet sailing experience takes us out along the coast for a few hours of sea, sun and very little urgency.

Come back for drinks, dinner and Bodrum after dark.

Today we go backwards in time. A private guided visit to Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the region.

Marble streets, old theatres, columns and stories from a city that once sat at the centre of the ancient world.

Then back to Bodrum. A good dinner, a long table and the part of the trip where everyone starts pretending they are not flying home tomorrow.

Breakfast, check out and fly back to Istanbul. Depending on flight timings, there is time for lunch, shopping or one last wander before departures.

Then goodbyes, photographs and the usual promises to plan the next trip soon.
