10 Day Turkey Tour of Istanbul Troy Ephesus Pamukkale with Cappadocia Hot Air Ballon Ride
Turkey, a country that occupies a unique geographic position is surrounded by 8 countries: Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, Syria and the Azerbaijani. Considered part Europe and part Asia, Turkey is a unique amalgamation of multiple ancient cultures (Persian, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman empires and Greek). Throughout its history it has acted as both a barrier and a bridge between the two continents (with Istanbul, Troy lying on the European side and Antalya, Ankara, Capadocia and Izmir lying on Asian side). And this is what makes Turkey one of the most fascinating tourist spots in the world with activities like Hot Air Balloon ride at Cappadocia (top 3 sites in the world for Hot Air Balloon ride in the world), Hot Water Springs at Pammukale, Greek Legend City Troy and more.

Istanbul: is in north-western Turkey within the Marmara Region on a total area of 5,343 square kilometers (2,063 sq mi). The Bosphorus, which connects the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea, divides the city into a European, Thracian side—comprising the historic and economic centers—and an Asian, Anatolian side. The city is further divided by the Golden Horn, a natural harbor bounding the peninsula where the former Byzantium and Constantinople were founded
Cappadocia: Famous as the top 3 sites in the world for Hot Air Balloon ride, Cappadocia / Goreme lies in central Anatolia (the heartland of Turkey). The landscape is full of fairy chimneys and tall, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Monks Valley. The relief consists of a high plateau over 1000 m in altitude that is pierced by volcanic peaks, with Mount Erciyes (ancient Argaeus) near Kayseri (ancient Caesarea) being the tallest at 3916 m. The boundaries of historical Cappadocia are vague, particularly towards the west. To the south, the Taurus Mountains form the boundary with Cilicia and separate Cappadocia from the Mediterranean Sea. To the west, Cappadocia is bounded by the historical regions of Lycaonia to the southwest, and Galatia to the northwest. Due to its inland location and high altitude, Cappadocia has a markedly continental climate, with hot dry summers and cold snowy winters.[7] Rainfall is sparse and the region is largely semi-arid.
Gallipoli: The peninsula runs in a south-westerly direction into the Aegean Sea, between the Dardanelles (formerly known as the Hellespont), and the Gulf of Saros (formerly the bay of Melas). In antiquity, it was protected by the Long Wall, a defensive structure built across the narrowest part of the peninsula near the ancient city of Agora. The isthmus traversed by the wall was only 36 stadia in breadth (about 6.5 km), but the length of the peninsula from this wall to its southern extremity, Cape Mastusia, was 420 stadia (about 77.5 km).
Troy: Ancient city in Anatolia (Turkey), Troy holds an enduring place in literature and archaeology. Today, the hill at Hisarlik has given its name to a small village near the ruins, which supports the tourist trade visiting the Troia archaeological site. It lies within the province of Çanakkale, some 30 km south-west of the provincial capital, also called Çanakkale. The nearest village is Tevfikiye. Due to Troy's location near the Aegean Sea, the Sea of Marmara, and the Black Sea, it was a central hub for the military and trade
Ephesus: Ancient Greek city of Asia Minor, near the mouth of the Menderes River, in what is today West Turkey, Izmir. One of the greatest of the Ionian cities, it became the leading sea-port of the region. The Greek city was near an old center of worship of a native nature goddess, who was equated with the Greek Artemis, and c.550 B.C. a large temple was built.
Pamukkale: (Cotton Castle) or ancient Hierapolis (Holy City), this area has been drawing the weary to its thermal springs since the time of Classical antiquity. The Turkish name refers to the surface of the shimmering, snow-white limestone, shaped over millennia by calcium-rich springs. Dripping slowly down the vast mountainside, mineral-rich waters foam and collect in terraces, spilling over cascades of stalactites into milky pools below. Legend has it that the formations are solidified cotton (the area’s principal crop) that giants left out to dry.
