Itinerary

Day 1

Today's touring starts with you either being picked up from Kayseri Airport or from your existing Cappadocia hotel. You will be given a full day's tour of the valleys to see remnants of some of the older churches, rock formations and the Kaymakli Underground city. The latter is particularly impressive as you discover this incredible underground city where the early Christians once hid from their persecutors. Late in the afternoon you will be returned to your Cappadocia hotel for the evening. Lunch and dinner are included in today's itinerary.

Day 2

Day two of the tour has the option of taking a hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia - an unforgettable experience for anybody who goes on this trip as the moonscapes of Cappadocia are like nowhere else in the world. This excursion entails a very early start, but it is very much worth the early rising. Please speak to us to arrange this excursion in advance. The rest of the day's touring starts later in the morning (dependent on the balloon riders return) when you will visit the valleys where animal-like natural formations like camels and fair chimneys are abundant. The fairy chimneys of Gorome only add to the landscape. The tour continues on to Pasabagi in Zelve area where monks used to live in seclusion in rock cut rooms. After this it is on to the pottery town of Avanos on the banks of the Kizilirmak (Hallys), the longest river of Turkey. The red clay from the riverbanks has been used for pottery for centuries. After lunch you will visit to Open Air Museum in Goreme to visit to the early Christian churches decorated with unique frescoes depicting various scenes from the Bible. On the way back to Cappadocia you will stop at Pigeon Valley near Uchisar and you will be given some free time to do some shopping. All meals are provided today and dinner will be held at a restaurant near the hotel.

Day 3

After breakfast you will make your way to Ankara. The first stop is the century Agzikarahan Caravanserai, a place where camel caravans have traded for centuries - a fascinating morning for all. On arrival in Ankara you will visit the Anatolian Civilizations Museum at which there are numerous remnants from Stone Age, Neolithic Age, Hittites, Urartians, Phrygians and many other civilizations that have lived in the vicinity. Today's excursions give you an idea of the great history and fascinating cultures of this ancient land. Later you will visit the Citadel of Ankara and the Mausoleum of Ataturk, the burial place of the national hero who founded modern Republic of Turkey. Lunch will be provided. Later in the afternoon you will be transferred to your hotel for a last overnight stay.

Day 4

After breakfast and check out you will be transferred to Ankara airport for you onward flight.

Planning excellence

My kids (18 & 20) and I had the most amazing 2-week trip to Greece May/June 2023. We were fortunate to have been introduced to Anthony Alagiah, who came highly recommended through a friend and colleague. I’m a researcher by nature, love planning trips and like to make very purposeful choices. What I lacked was local, expert perspective, and felt I wasn’t getting thorough, objective advice from my usual online sources. I was looking for a professional who would work with me to collaborate, share options, and guide our choices. Anthony has a network of colleagues with Antelope Travel and affiliated agencies throughout Greece who gave timely advice and knew what hotels and excursion providers could be relied on for consistent, quality experiences. Our vacation was impeccably planned from the moment we arrived. The communications were excellent not only during planning but while we were in Greece. We had a clear itinerary, with details, contact names and numbers for every step of our trip - everything from start to finish ran smoothly and we felt very well cared for. The hotel choices, tours/guides and restaurant recommendations were excellent. Overall, it was the trip of a lifetime, and the planning from start to finish exceeded our expectations.

Great trip in Athens, Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini

We did a custom trip with Antelope that included private tours of Athens, Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini for my wife and I. We had a great time. Anthony was a fantastic planner and set is up in hotels we loved, in perfect locations. He had local representatives on each of the islands, who met us and made sure we didn't have any trouble. The tours he set up for us were catered to our interests and had excellent guides. Thanks, Anthony!
