This is a very comprehensive journey which starts in Istanbul, the center of the Ottoman Empire and their legacy. Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Sultan Palace you name it. (Do not forget the luxury of a Turkish bath.)
We fly to Sanli Urfa and Harran, the birthplace of Prophet Ibrahim, where other prophets have lived too and set their marks as mentioned in the Holy Qur'an.
From this southernmost point we drive our way back, first up to Nemrud Dagi where a former king had created a tumulus and huge stone figures on the mountaintop.On to the underground cities around Cappadocia. They are a mystery for you to discover. We stay overnight in Goremje.


From there to the centre of Sufism, Konja were Rumi worked, lived and is buried. Visiting his mosque. It is claimed that healing miracles occur there.We will visit dancing dervishes in their performance.
The limestone terraces of Pamukkale are on route where the mineral rich water has created terraces in blending white.Then with our bus to Izmir we visit the Greek antic Ephesus and take a flight back to Istanbul.
The souk, the market waits for you. We take the flight back to Singapore at midnight.


Underground cities of Cappadocia.
According to ancient alien theorists, extraterrestrials landed and went underground, Shying the sunlight perhaps?.
How many of these underground cities exist? No one knows. When were they build and by whom? No one has a clue. They were used later by Christians to hide away from enemies so it is claimed.
