Mood indigo The city tour includes a stop at the Blue Mosque
Women on Wanderlust (WOW) is organising a six night-seven day tour for women travellers to Turkey, starting April 19 from Mumbai.
The tour will include Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, a belly dance, a full day city tour including Blue Mosque, Suleymeniye Mosque, Hippodrome and Topkapi Palace.
Then there’s a visit to Kayseri and Cappadocia, which is home to a bizarre field of anthill-like cones, rock-hewn churches and underground cities where Christians once hid to avoid persecution.
The tour then moves to Konya and Pamukkale to see a geographical fairyland that the Turks have dubbed “cotton castle”. Also on the cards is a visit to Mevlana Museum.
A half day tour of Denizli and then a drive to Kusadasi for a little bit of “people watching”, this leg of the tour takes you to the place situated on the west coast of Turkey.
Kusadasi is one of the most attractive coastal cities of the Aegean Sea. Palm-lined boulevards lead to perfect beaches where you can look out for the sailing yachts. Then move to Ephesus, the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean and perhaps the best place in the world to get the feeling for what life was like in Roman times.
The last day takes you to Izmir, Istanbul, and back to Mumbai.
The package costs Rs. 71,950 per person on twin share. Single occupancy is Rs. 7,500 extra. The package includes two nights in Istanbul, one night in Cappodocia, one night in Pammukale, two nights in Kusadasi. All meals will be provided on the tour. Morning tea/coffee, mineral water and any other food and beverages, apart from those indicated are extras. There will be an English-speaking guide. It also includes all transfers, excursions, sightseeing as per WOW itinerary, and international flights ex-Mumbai and internal Turkey flight, all taxes, and Turkish visa.
WOW buddy Aparna will accompany the group from India. The fare does not include telephones calls, insurance, laundry, tips, porters, personal expenses of any nature, extra mineral water, beverages, food/meals, other than mentioned on the program. The last date to submit documents is March 22. For details check www.wowsumitra.com or call founder Sumitra Senapaty on 9891655054.
