WHere WE’RE staying
For the first three nights, we’ll be staying at Four Seasons Sultanahmet in Istanbul: a gorgeous five-star hotel
Located overlooking Hagia Sophia in the heart of the city, this iconic property offers a blend of luxury, history, and prime location. Known for its exceptional service, the hotel also boasts world-class dining, spa facilities, and elegant accommodations, ensuring a memorable and comfortable stay. It's an ideal base for exploring Istanbul's rich culture while enjoying modern luxury
We’ll then be moving to a five-star luxury boutique hotel in Cappadocia: Kayakapi, which offers a blend of elegance, tradition, and unique architecture. The hotel is carved into the region's famous rock formations, blending historical charm with modern luxury. You’ll have access to the restaurant serving gourmet cuisine, a spa with Turkish baths, and personalized service to create an intimate and unforgettable experience in this enchanting region.
WHAT WE’RE DOING
Our itineraries are carefully crafted to give you a balance of planned group activities and free time to spend at leisure. For example, one day we’ll explore Istanbul together on a food tour during the day, but then that evening you’re free to do dinner wherever you choose (on your own or with other travelers!) Other days you’ll have mornings to yourself to choose from a range of smaller group activities, before the group will come together for dinner together.
But don’t worry… even with the free time you’re given, our team is here to equip you with ample suggestions and additional opportunities to sign up for so you’re never short of things to do.
