Itinerary

Ancient ruins. Colourful bazaars. Intoxicating flavours. And a unique culture waiting to be discovered. Welcome to Turkey! Check into the hotel and meet the gang – we’re a mixed bunch but are all in it together, just like it should be. Tonight, start your Turki...
Rise and shine – if the call to prayer didn’t wake you, the anticipation for today will. First up: a walking tour to soak up the city’s icons. We’ll roam the courts and pavilions of Ottoman sultans at Topkapi Palace. Wander the home of Byzantine entertainment a...
Wave goodbye to Istanbul – we’re rolling on to the vibrant city of Eskisehir (es-kee-sheh-heer). Literally meaning ‘old city’, this place has a history that dates back to 3000 BC. Get your bearings on an orientation walk with our expert Trip Leader – before hea...
No lies – today is a bit of a drive day. BUT we’ve got some awesome stops to make. First: check out the out-of-this-world Tuz Gölü (aka Salt Lake). Then: there’s the opportunity to head underground and take a peek at Cappadocia’s famous cave dwellings. Used as ...
You’ve seen the balloon-filled skies of Cappadocia on Instagram. Now it’s time to experience it without the filter. Jump on an optional hot air balloon ride, and watch the sun rise over the otherworldly valley – prepare to be WOWed. Then? We’ll head to Göreme N...
Onwards! We’re swapping psychedelic rock valleys for glittering turquoise beaches. Today’s drive to Antalya is your chance to catch up on some zzzs, pump the tunes and message the rents (you’ll be too busy later, trust us). Dump your stuff at the hotel and head...
Squeeze in one last dip before we make tracks to Fethiye (feh-tee-yeh). But first: we’ll make a pit stop at one of the world’s deepest canyons. You charged your camera, right? Take an optional wading tour through the crystal-clear water of Saklikent Gorge – sur...
You’ve got 24 hrs to do your own this-is-what-I-came-for-thing. Need some suggestions? Sign up for an optional cruise around the islands, and spend the day worshipping the sun aboard a traditional Turkish gulet. Treat your eyeballs to some I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E v...
That’s not a hot spring, THIS is a hot spring. We’re headed inland to check out the World Heritage-listed ‘Cotton Castle’ of Pamukkale. The gleaming white terraces are on alllll the socials (eye roll), but they’re even more incredible in person. Trust us. Wade ...
Ready to tick a Wonder of the Ancient World off your list? Thought so. Channel all the Indiana Jones vibes as we check out the ruins of Ephesus. Jump on a guided tour or explore the Temple of Hadrian, forgotten city halls, massive amphitheatre and statue-lined ...
From one ancient archaeological site to another – we’re making tracks to the impressive Pergamon Acropolis. Catch allll the panoramas as we ride the cable car to the top. Then: wander through the colossal marble columns, explore ancient libraries, altars and te...
Today, we’ll make our way back to Istanbul. But first: Gallipoli – the historic peninsula with views stretching out over idyllic sandy beaches. We’ll pay our respects at the Australian War Memorial at Lone Pine and the New Zealand Memorial at Chunuk Bair. Then ...
1 country. 13 days. Ancient wonders. Scenic stunners. And countless good times with a bunch of randoms, who are now like family. Get down to breakfast and swap those contact deets – you’re going to need them for that reunion trip. Then, squeeze in one last dondurma (Turkish ice cream) before you go. Where to next?
