Itinerary

Some of Turkey’s most enchanting treasures lay where history and natural beauty weave an unforgettable fabric. White, glowing, sublime thermal terraces are her glory, arising from mineral-rich hot springs, which for centuries have been regarded as healing springs, and are today recorded on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Just above lies the ancient Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis, once famed for its healing waters, textile production, and diverse communities. Naos lets you glimpse the vast necropolis, the tomb of Apostle Phillip, and then into the warm, mineral-rich waters of the Antique Pool. Heading further south, on the Mediterranean coast is the lovely sea-facing historic city of Antalya, the Mediterranean front for the glittering past. Founded by Greeks who-bribed the Byzantines and Ottoman rulers into becoming prosperous-the old town of Kaleici is brimming with Ottoman houses, lively streets, and landmarks like Hadrian’s Gate, the Fluted Minaret, and the Ancient Harbor. Close by sit Duden Waterfalls and turquoise beaches, making Antalya a perfect combination of cultural heritage and sea beauty.
