From New York City NYC (All Airports) (NY), US for 9 nights
Istanbul is one of the truly great romantic cities. It's home to a layering of civilization upon civilization, of empire built upon empire. A stroll through this historic city will reveal ancient Roman hippodromes, peristyles, and aqueducts, the greatest excesses of the Byzantine Empire, and the mystique and power of the Ottoman Empire. In this sprawling, continent-spanning city you can walk the streets where crusaders and janissaries once marched; admire mosques that are the most sublime architectural expressions of Islamic piety; peer into the sultan's harem; and hunt for bargains in the Kapali Carsi.
Visit and explore the Ayasofya,Topkapi Palace, Dolmabahce Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Spice Bazaar, Suleymaniye Camii, St. Savior in Chora, the New Mosque, Galata Tower, Taksim Square, the Hippodrome and so much more!
3 nights in Dalaman
Just north of the Turquoise Coast is the quiet town of Dalaman, situated in between the beautiful coastline and the mountains. Beautiful sweetgum trees grow in the Dalaman Valley, feeding from the waters of majestic Dalaman Stream. The mud baths of Dalyan are a well known tourist attraction with visitors coming from Marmaris and Fethiye, and sometimes further, to indulge in the sulphur-rich baths. You'll also want to visit Alexandria train station, accidentally built in Turkey by mistake and meant for Alexandria, Egypt.
Visit and explore the great Dalaman Stream, Alexandria train station, Dalaman Marina, Atlantic Waterpark, Marmaris International Race Week, loggerhead turtles at the Caretta Caretta Festival, and so much more.
3 nights in Izmir
Nicknamed the 'Pearl of the Aegean,' Izmir is Turkey's third largest city and second largest port. It is a superb city of palm-lined promenades, avenues, and green parks set along a circular bay. The magnificent coastline offers pristine beaches surrounded by olive groves, rocky crags, and pine woods. One of the most impressive landmarks of Izmir harbor is the Clock Tower, a beautiful marble tower 80 feet tall. Its expansive archaeological sites include the Roman Agora of Smyrna, now an open-air museum as well as nine synagogues, concentrated either in the traditional Jewish quarter of Karatas or in Havra Sokak (Synagogue Street) in Kemeralti.
Visit and explore the Izmir Historical Elevator Building, Kulturpark Izmir, Smyrna Agora Ancient City, Ataturk Museum, Izmir Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum, the Clock Tower, Konak Square, and so much more.
Apart from Russia, no other country can stake such a proud claim to bridging 'the East and the West' like <b>Turkey</b>, which sits astride two continents. There are more Roman archaeological sites than in all of Italy, and more ancient Greek ruins available for viewing by the public than in Greece. The history from the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and finally the modern Turkish nation are all on display here, and the Turkish vacation experience can encompass everything from being in the hustle and bustle of a metropolis, to attending a whirling dervish dance ceremony, to sunning yourself on the country's beautiful shores, to climbing mountains and skiing at top resorts, to enjoying an iconic hot-air balloon ride over the Fairy Chimneys of Cappadocia.
