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.

We will explore the three-levelled Millet Mosque with beautiful domes and visit the Mausoleum of Ataturk, the first President of the Republic of Turkey. We will take a trip of around 4.5 hours from Ankara to Istanbul and stay the night in Istanbul.

DAY 6 ISTANBUL (B/L)

Taking the Bosphorus Cruise is one of the best ways of sightseeing in Istanbul as it allows you to discover some of the remarkable landmarks of Istanbul. Blue Mosque holds the great significance of being an Ottoman-era mosque that was established in 1616. The Hippodrome is a well-known square in Istanbul that was previously a circus during the Byzantine Empire. Topkapi Palace has many holy relics like The Staff of Moses, and Hagia Sophia Mosque is another historical mosque. You will get to see all of these locations in Istanbul and have some free time for shopping at the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, one of the oldest and largest markets in the world.
