Turkey: Istanbul & Cappadocia

13 Sep au 20 Sep 2023

Welcome to the amazing Turkey. I am so ecstatic to welcome you to this beautiful part of the world on this luxurious Turkey adventure.

Turkey needs no introduction. It is a place like no other. We will be spending a whole week diving into the magical Istanbul along with the whimsical UNESCO world heritage Cappadocia.

Prepare to be enchanted with a group of awesome fellow likeminded ladies. We will get lost in the scenery, eat our weight in some of the tastiest food of the world and partake in so many fun and unique Turkish traditions.

This tour is for women only and we will be a very small intimate group limited to 14 ladies.

Day 1:

Welcome to Istanbul.

Istanbul is like that wild child that can never be tamed and the chaos is all part of its charm. So we will all meet up in the airport where our private transport will take us into the city.

There we will check into our beautiful hotel to freshen up.

Later in the evening, we will gather around a fabulous dinner so we can all get to know each other better and most importantly have fun.

What better way to get familiarized with the great Istanbut but through its food?

Come hungry because today we will have a very extensive food tour that will take us to some of the best gems in the city.

Freshen up and take a quick dip at our beautiful 5 star hotel pool overlooking the beautiful waters.

Later at night, we will enjoy a performance by the traditional whirling dervishes

Day 3:

Today is all about diving into the rich history of Istanbul. We will be touring the city and some of its best sights. Think the beautiful Hagia Sofia, the blue mosque and the basilica cistern amongst some of our stops.

If you still find yourself with energy to spare, enjoy some free time at the hotel before we meet for dinner.

Day 4:

Today is all about relaxation. This is something I take very seriously. After breakfast, we will check our fabulous selves into a traditional hammam. They will scrub us from head to toes before sending us our merry ways.

After our authentic Turkish spa, it is shopping time ladies.

Once we shop till we drop, we are bound to get very hungry.

This is perfect because food is a very serious component of our week in Turkey. But we won’t just eat already made food, today we will get a bit more hands-on. Let’s dive in deeper and learn how to cook some Turkish goodies. Yes! This means it’s time for our cooking class.
