The Hidden Heritage of Turkey's Ottoman Empire
11 days from £3850 per person
Route: Istanbul – Amasya – Kastamonu – Safranbolu – Istanbul
Although known throughout the world for its many ancient remains, Turkey's Ottoman heritage is just as rich. Istanbul was at the centre of the Ottoman Empire for centuries with the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar testament to this creative period of rule. From Istanbul continue to picturesque Amasya, an ancient city dramatically located in the Yesilirmak Valley home to fine mosques and wonderful Ottoman half-timbered houses before ending your journey in Safranbolu by the Black Sea, a UNESCO protected town of magnificent 18th and 19th century Ottoman architecture.
ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS
Savour the sumptuous culinary delights in Istanbul, where the food is as diverse as its heritage. Soak up the local experiences and marvel at the city’s ancient architecture.
Amasya is set along a river valley in the mountains above the Black Sea coast. Traditional Ottoman houses lean out over the river and are now hotels, cafes and restaurants.
Safranbolu is one of the most picturesque towns in Turkey due to the hundreds of well-preserved Ottoman houses. The streets and squares are full of artisanal shops.
