You will get to explore the Ataturk Dam, the world’s 4th largest dam in the world.

DAY 7 KARS – ERZURUM (B/L/D)

Visit the Grand Mosque of Erzurum by driving from Kars to Erzurum in about 2 hours and 50 minutes. The mosque is designed in the traditional Seljuk pre-Ottoman rectangular style.

DAY 8 ERZURUM – TRABZON (B/L/D)

Visit Karaca Cave on the way to Trabzon. Stalactites, stalagmites, and travertines are just a few of the many dripstone formations that abound in this cave in all various sizes, forms, and colors.

DAY 9 TRABZON – AMASYA – SAMSUN (B/L/D)

We will go to the ancient town of Amasya in the morning since it was crucial to the founding of the Republic of Turkey during the time of transition after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

DAY 11 SIVAS – HATTUSA – CAPPADOCIA (B/L/D)

On Day 11, we will go to Hatussa, which served as the late Bronze Age capital of the Hittite Empire.

The 4000-year-old Hittite City of Hatussa with its Lion Gate, magnificent Temple, and several outstanding structures may be seen there. Then, take a trip to Yazilikaya, where two rock clefts—one to the northeast and the other to the east—form open-air galleries naturally. The Hittites revered this location. It was created within a cluster of rock outcrops and had two primary chambers. The Hittite pantheon’s gods are shown in the rock reliefs of Chambers A and B, which are still very spectacular today. Drive forward to Cappadocia.
