Mood indigo The city tour includes a stop at the Blue Mosque

The tour will include Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, a belly dance, a full day city tour including Blue Mosque, Suleymeniye Mosque, Hippodrome and Topkapi Palace.

Then there’s a visit to Kayseri and Cappadocia, which is home to a bizarre field of anthill-like cones, rock-hewn churches and underground cities where Christians once hid to avoid persecution.

The tour then moves to Konya and Pamukkale to see a geographical fairyland that the Turks have dubbed “cotton castle”. Also on the cards is a visit to Mevlana Museum.

A half day tour of Denizli and then a drive to Kusadasi for a little bit of “people watching”, this leg of the tour takes you to the place situated on the west coast of Turkey.

Kusadasi is one of the most attractive coastal cities of the Aegean Sea. Palm-lined boulevards lead to perfect beaches where you can look out for the sailing yachts. Then move to Ephesus, the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean and perhaps the best place in the world to get the feeling for what life was like in Roman times.

The last day takes you to Izmir, Istanbul, and back to Mumbai.

The package costs Rs. 71,950 per person on twin share. Single occupancy is Rs. 7,500 extra. The package includes two nights in Istanbul, one night in Cappodocia, one night in Pammukale, two nights in Kusadasi.
