You step out of the coach into a city that has cradled empires—the air here carries sea salt and the faint echo of prayers from minarets. In Sultanahmet the stones underfoot still hold generations of footsteps; later, the land opens to lunar valleys where chimney-shaped cones rise like slow-burning candles. Across eight days you move between these landscapes: Istanbul’s imperial domes, Cappadocia’s carved monasteries and panoramas, the classical ruins of Ephesus, and the chalk-white terraces of Pamukkale.
