Istanbul is a historically and culturally rich city. The sleek domes and graceful minarets give the city a majestic look and it is believed that a visit to Istanbul is incomplete without having a visit to at least one of the sacred mosques in the city like Blue Mosque and the Suleymaniye Mosque.

Shop at the Grand Bazaar –

Watching the dancing Whirling Dervishes –

The dance performed by Whirling Dervishes known as Sema relates to the faith, history, customs and culture of Turkey closely and symbolizes the mystical journey through the human mind and love.

Enjoying an evening at traditional Turkish tavern –

The nightlife of Istanbul is lively. To have fun with the locals do make a visit to the Meyhane i.e. the traditional Turkish tavern and listen to the fasil music that is performed in a group with a violin, clarinet, lute, trombone, hand drum called darbuka and a flat, stringed instrument called kanun. To make it even more exciting, have a sip of Turkish raki and nibble mezes. We suggest two restaurants offering the best evenings in the Beyoglu district i.e. the Zarif and Ferayefor an amazing experience.

Fairytale kingdom of Turkey, Cappadocia is a rock-strewn landscape of natural wonders and human skill. It was initially shaped by volcanic eruptions and erosion and later the locals and religious refugees worked on this incredible landscape and turned it into an extraordinary network of underground tunnels, chambers and cities thousands of years ago.

The rich and diverse cultural history of Cappadocia is enough to drag the attention of people around the world but today the chance to view Cappadocia from the sky in a hot air balloon is bringing more tourists to this World Heritage site of UNESCO. The fairy chimneys and pillars, river valleys and cliffs make the site outstanding enough to take a look at from air.

And we at Turkey Tours by Local Guides provide private Cappadocia tours from Istanbul that cover the best of this rocky wonderland. It includes:

Goreme Open-air Museum: Resembling a gigantic ascetic complex composed of scores of refectory monasteries positioned side by side, each with its own extraordinary church. The finest rock-cut churches and beautiful frescoes i.e. wall paintings whose colors still retain the freshness it originally had are the highlight of this incredible site.

Pigeon valley: The valley is named so due to the presence of many pigeon houses or dovecotes carved into the rocks and the cliffs. Long back, the pigeons were used as message carriers and their droppings were used as fertilizers and sometimes as explosives. Sounds interesting right!

Uchisar: The natural rock castle of Uchisar, located at the highest point of Cappadocia is just 5 km away from Goreme. The top of the Uchisar castle provides a magnificent panoramic view of the neighboring area with Mount Erciyes in the distance.

Our private tours also include Devrent Valley, Cavusin village, Pasabagi (Zelve) valley fairy chimneys, Avanos centre of terra cotta work of art and a demonstration in a traditional pottery workshop, Panoramic view of Esentepe, Hot air balloon tour in Cappadocia over the fairy chimneys and pillars, Ihlara valley, Belisrima Village, and Agzikarahan caravanserai.

Absolutely yes, Turkey is safe to travel. Turkey is sharing borders with Syria, Iraq, Iran and Armenia but that does not mean Turkey is a war zone. Turkey is a big country and from the west to the east it is 1400 kms long. About 80 % of the country is safe for visitors to travel.  Considering the incidents in other big cities around the world Istanbul is still one of the safest big cities.
