We will start our trip in Istanbul with its famous Blue Mosque and the symbol of the Byzantine Empire – Hagia Sophia. We will also go on a cruise in the Bosphorus Strait. Then, we will ride to the Asian part of Turkey. Riding along the coast of the Black Sea, we reach eastern Anatolia (Asia Minor), where the mountains and the sea meet. Can you imagine riding through this amazing landscapes? We will visit the Sumela Monastery and reach the foothills of the majestic Mount Ararat, which, as some say, is the resting-place of Noah’s Ark. You will learn the history of the Ishak Pasha Palace, and, after going around Lake Van, you will ride into a volcanic crater. Going back east, we will visit the statues of Greek and Persian gods on Mount Nemrut. What else? The iconic Cappadocia and flying a hot-air balloon, and a short rest in the town of Kaş on the Turkish Riviera (a.k.a. the Turquoise Coast), as well as a visit to the World War 1 battleground of Gallipoli.
