An Exclusive Small Group Travel Experience for The Texas Exes

Day 1: Depart U.S. for Istanbul, Turkey

Day 2: Arrive Istanbul We arrive in Turkey’s cultural and spiritual heart today and transfer to our hotel located near Taksim Square, the heart of modern Istanbul. As guests’ arrival times may vary greatly, we have no group activities or meals planned. Dinner tonight is on our own.

Day 3: Istanbul We get our first real taste of this city straddling two continents today as we set out on a walking tour along lively pedestrian Istiklal Street, lined with boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and late Ottoman-era buildings. We see the acclaimed mosaics and frescoes at Chora Church (now Kariye Museum) then take a pan-oramic drive along Istanbul’s Old City walls. Then we visit intimate Rustem Pasha mosque, followed by the renowned Spice Market. After lunch on our own here, we take a private cruise on the Bosphorus, which separates Europe from Asia. This evening we take a short walk to a local restaurant for a welcome dinner of traditional Turkish fare. B,D

Day 4: Istanbul Today we encounter Old Istanbul, beginning with the ancient Roman Hippodrome, the 3,500-year-old obelisk brought from Egypt in 390 ce. Next we visit the Blue Mosque, with its 20,000 blue Iznik tiles and sig-nature six minarets. We then visit the renowned Museum of Turkish & Islamic Art, housing priceless artifacts from the 8th to 20th centuries. After lunch at a local restaurant we continue on to Hagia Sophia, the 6th-century church that was Christendom’s most important before becoming a mosque in the 15th century. B,L

Day 5: Istanbul This morning we tour splendid Topkapi, for 400 years the palace of Ottoman sultans that today ranks among the world’s richest museums. We continue on to the Basilica Cistern, the marble-columned underground chamber that

Library of Celsus at Ephesus, which we tour on Day 8

provided water to Istanbul in antiquity, and the Grand Bazaar, housing some 5,000 shops along 60 “streets.” The remainder of the day is free for independent exploration. B

Day 6: Istanbul/Gallipoli/Troy/Assos Leaving Istanbul this morning, we travel to the northern Aegean Coast for a brief visit to Gallipoli, haunting site of 31 Allied cemeteries from World War I. Then we ferry across the Dardanelles to Troy, once believed to exist only in Homer’s epic poem until the present site was discovered in the 1870s. After touring here we continue south to Behramkale, ancient Assos, where we spend the night. B,L,D

Day 7: Assos/Pergamum/Izmir Today we explore one of Turkey’s most spectacular ancient sites: windswept Pergamum, a major power in the 3rd and 2nd centuries bce, with a wealth of Hellen- istic ruins. Then we continue on to Izmir. B,L,D

Day 8: Izmir/Ephesus Few ancient sites compare to Ephesus, the world’s best-preserved classical city which we explore today. Dating to at least 1300 bce, Ephesus was Asia Minor’s largest metropolis and principal port. Our tour includes the Terrace Houses, with their outstanding mosaic floors and frescoed walls. Lunch is in the rustic village of Sirince. B,L

Day 9: Izmir/Göcek Today we journey south to coastal Göcek, stopping along the way at a carpet factory to watch a demonstration of this age-old craft. Late afternoon we board our gulets. B,L,D

Day 10: Cruising – Aga Limani/Cleopatra Baths We begin our “Blue Voyage” this morning as we cruise to the hidden cove of Aga Limani. From here we have the option of

taking a three-hour hike to the Greco-Roman ruins at Lydea, ending at the Sunken Baths of Cleopatra. Set in a breathtaking inlet, the Baths offer crystal-clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Those who prefer a less strenuous day can stay aboard the gulets as they sail to the Sunken Baths. B,L,D

Day 11: Cruising – Ekincik Cove/Dalyan This morning we disembark and coach to Dalyan, an environmentally protected area known for its log-gerhead sea turtles. Here we board a small skiff for a trip through an intriguing maze of channels; high on the hills above we see well-preserved ancient Lycian rock tombs. B,L,D
