Turkey is a captivating crossroads of continents, where ancient history and modern energy collide. This is a land of sensory overload, from the intricate mosaics of Istanbul's Hagia Sophia and the spice-scented lanes of its Grand Bazaar to the sun-drenched beaches of the Turquoise Coast.

For the adventure seeker, Turkey is an epic playground. You can paraglide over the famous Blue Lagoon in Ölüdeniz, hike ancient trails along the Lycian Way, or go white-water rafting through canyons. But for a truly unforgettable and cinematic experience, nothing compares to the moon-like landscape of Cappadocia.

Known as "the land of beautiful horses," Cappadocia is a fairytale world of "fairy chimneys" and sculpted valleys, a sight best explored from the back of a horse. Riding through the Red and Rose Valleys at sunrise or sunset offers an unparalleled perspective of the region. As you trot past ancient cave dwellings and unique rock formations, you'll be treated to a spectacular panorama of dozens of hot air balloons floating silently overhead, making for a truly iconic and magical journey.
