Detail Itinerary

Upon arrival at Istanbul Airport, you'll be greeted by a representative who will assist with your transfer to the hotel in the city center. After checking in and freshening up, take some time to rest and adjust to the new time zone. In the afternoon, start your exploration of Istanbul by visiting the iconic Hagia Sophia, a marvel of Byzantine architecture that has served as a church, mosque, and now a museum. Nearby, visit the Blue Mosque with its stunning blue tiles and elegant domes. End the day with a leisurely walk around Sultanahmet Square, soaking in the atmosphere of this historic area, and perhaps enjoy a delicious Turkish dinner at a local restaurant.

After breakfast at your hotel, embark on a guided city tour to delve deeper into Istanbul's rich history and culture. Begin at the Grand Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world, where you can shop for souvenirs, spices, and traditional Turkish goods. Continue to the Basilica Cistern, an underground reservoir dating back to the Byzantine era, followed by a visit to the Spice Bazaar, known for its colorful array of spices, teas, and Turkish delights. In the afternoon, explore the Süleymaniye Mosque, one of Istanbul's most magnificent mosques, and enjoy panoramic views of the city from its courtyard. Conclude the day with a relaxing Bosphorus cruise, sailing along the strait that divides Europe and Asia, and marvel at Istanbul's skyline dotted with minarets, palaces, and historic buildings.

After breakfast, check out of your hotel in Istanbul and transfer to the airport for your flight to Antalya, the gateway to the Turkish Riviera. Upon arrival in Antalya, you'll be transferred to your hotel in the city center or along the coast. Take some time to settle in and unwind, perhaps by enjoying the hotel's facilities or taking a stroll along the beach. In the evening, explore Antalya's charming old town, Kaleiçi, with its narrow cobblestone streets, Ottoman-era houses, and picturesque harbor. Enjoy dinner at one of the local restaurants, where you can savor fresh seafood and Mediterranean cuisine.

Start the day with a visit to Kaleiçi, where you can wander through its labyrinthine streets lined with boutique shops, cafes, and historical landmarks. Don't miss Hadrian's Gate, a beautifully preserved Roman triumphal arch that marks the entrance to Kaleiçi. Next, visit the Antalya Archaeological Museum to learn about the region's rich history, including its ancient Greek, Roman, and Ottoman past. In the afternoon, head to the Düden Waterfalls, located just outside the city, where you can marvel at the cascading water as it plunges into the Mediterranean Sea. Afterward, return to your hotel and relax, or perhaps indulge in a traditional Turkish hammam experience for some pampering and relaxation.

Today, embark on a full-day guided excursion to explore the ancient ruins near Antalya. Your first stop is Perge, an ancient city dating back to the Hellenistic period, where you can admire well-preserved structures such as the Roman theater, stadium, and agora. Continue to Aspendos, home to one of the best-preserved Roman theaters in the world, known for its remarkable acoustics and grandeur. Finally, visit the coastal town of Side, where you can explore ancient ruins overlooking the sea, including the Temple of Apollo and the Roman amphitheater. Return to Antalya in the evening and relax at your hotel, reflecting on the day's discoveries and experiences.

Today is yours to enjoy at leisure or participate in optional activities based on your interests. If you prefer a relaxing day, spend it lounging by the pool or beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying the beautiful Mediterranean views. Alternatively, you can explore more of Antalya independently, perhaps visiting attractions like the Antalya Aquarium or taking a stroll along Konyaaltı Beach. For adventure seekers, consider booking optional activities such as a boat tour along the Turquoise Coast, a jeep safari in the Taurus Mountains, or a visit to the ancient city of Termessos. In the evening, dine at a local restaurant and savor Turkish specialties, accompanied by live music or entertainment if available.

Depending on your flight schedule, you may have some free time in Antalya before your departure. Take the opportunity to do some last-minute shopping or sightseeing, perhaps picking up souvenirs or gifts to remember your time in Turkey. Later, check out of your hotel and transfer to Antalya Airport for your return flight to Kathmandu, marking the end of your unforgettable journey through Istanbul and Antalya.
