Empires of Anatolia – Three Imperial Capitals in Six Days

Before Istanbul, the Ottomans ruled from Bursa and then from Edirne. This compact tour connects all three capitals so you can watch an empire's architecture grow — from the early mosques and silk markets of Bursa to Mimar Sinan's Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, the building he called his masterpiece, and back to Byzantine and Ottoman Istanbul.

Along the way you pass through İznik (Nicaea), Troy and the Gallipoli peninsula. A licensed guide leads a small group of no more than ten, and nights are spent in 3★ Classic hotels with breakfast. Arrival and departure days are kept for transfers only.
