We have carefully selected the accommodation to ensure we contribute to the local economy and provide clean, welcoming places to stay. The normal accommodations used on this trip are found on the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are a couple of the standout places we stay.
Room upgrades: Upgrades are available on this itinerary – speak to your sales representative for more details.
Istanbul: Beethoven Premium Hotel
Just a 10-minute walk from the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, the Beethoven is ideally placed to explore Istanbul. There’s also a heated indoor pool, fitness centre, traditional Turkish hammam and sauna and steam room. If you’d really like to indulge, massage and beauty treatments are available at the spa.
Canakkale: Cura Hotel
There’s a modern elegance to the Cura, where a focus on design and a warm welcome provides an excellent spot to relax in Canakkale. It’s well located, too, around a 10-minute walk from the seafront restaurants.
Cappadocia: Sobek Stone House
Mornings at Sobek Stone House are magical, with balloons drifting over Cappadocia. Overlooking valleys and ancient sites, this 29-room boutique retreat offers unique rooms and relaxing facilities for peaceful returns after exploration.
