The morning light in Istanbul slices through Hagia Sophia’s cavernous dome and the Bosphorus hums with commuter ferries—this is where the ten-day circuit begins. On day one you’re in a city that stitches continents together, moving from imperial mosaics to a ferry crossing that feels like stepping between time zones. From there the route widens: marble-perfected Roman streets at Ephesus, lunar rock chimneys in Cappadocia, salt-bright Aegean shores around Miletus and Didim, and the whitewashed bustle of Bodrum.
