There is a special blend of eastern and western culture to be discovered. Tour Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet area, home to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, or take a traditional Turkish cooking class. Relax on the beach or take part in the fun nightlife in Bodrum. Ride in a hot air balloon over the majestic landscape of Cappadocia or explore the ancient Greek ruins in Ephesus.
