5  Days Price: 1165 €

Medraft invites you to experience the urban side of Turkey without relinquishing the opportunity for adventure in the amazing Turkish countryside. Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city is one of the most fascinating cities in the world.  It offers an urban experience like no other comprising off a bit of everything including packed bazaars and couture boutiques, an Old City chock-a-block with history and a pulsating, the modern city, popular sites, magical vistas and of course a cornucopia of restaurants offering some of the finest cuisine anywhere. With its strange and mesmerizing landscape Cappadocia presents a stark and unusual contrast to the urban panorama of Istanbul.  Formed over millennia through natural processes, the region’s weird and wonderful rock formations seem to have been sculpted by a master artist.  Known variously as a “fairytale land” and “land of moonscapes” Cappadocia’s mysterious aura is sure to captivate any traveler. Among the most popular of excursions in this region is the flight by hot-air balloon over the eerie landscape – an experience we won’t let you miss!

Day 1 The ancient alleyways of Antalya.


We’ll meet at the airport in Antalya then transfer to our 3/4-start hotel.  We’ll start our visit to Antalya with a walking tour of its Old City.  With its surrounding walls, ancient port, the famed Andreas Gate and the scored Minaret. After dinner we’ll prepare for the exciting days ahead.  We’ll have a safety briefing before retiring for a good night’s rest.

Day 2 Waterfalls, springs and lakes.

 

A ride over open terrain will take us through villages scattered along the slopes of the Taurus Mountains.  We’ll get as close as possible to the impressive Uchisar Falls and frolic in their cooling waters.  It’s only natural for the nearby trout farm to host us for an exceptionally fresh and healthy lunch. We’ll finish this wonderful day at the shores of a lake near the town of Ierdir here we’ll find our hotel which is surrounded by fragrant apple groves.

Day 3 Cultural encounters of the authentic kind.

 

 After exploring the environs of Lake Kovoda we’ll ascend to mountainous heights taking in their beauty.  We’ll cross mountain pass 2,000 metres in elevation to reach the summit of Mount Tota. The mukhtar of the village of Ksimler will be awaiting our arrival with a typical rural lunch which consists of a huge festive feast shared with local villagers. The Koprülü River.  With its powerful waters and unusual geological formations make this river an outstanding and breathtaking sight. A enchanted evening awaits us at log cabins situated on the banks of the Koprülü River.

Day 4 From rafting to the Dolomites.

 

We’ll start the day high on adrenalin high with rafting on the Koprülü River. Without sacrificing safety we’ll ride the wilds of this amazing river all the while taking in the majestic beauty and pastoral tranquility around us. We’ll then lose ourselves in the stunning lunar beauty of “Little Cappadocia” as we wander the mazes naturally created by the area’s rock formations and the Dolomites will be our backdrop.  We’ll end this exhilarating day around the fire.

Day 5 The last look.

 

There’s no better way to end a visit to this fantastic part of the world than with a hike through the Koprülü River Canyon.  Our route will take us past breathtaking vistas and across a bridge spanning gurgling waters beneath us lie strange arches and beside us ancient ruins that will capture our gaze and our hearts. After a short off-road ride through the canyon we’ll head back toward Antalya.  We’ll enjoy some free time in that colorful city before saying our goodbyes and setting off for home.
