Our Silk Route Adventure Film
1. A Fairytale Journey: Istanbul - Cappadocia
Your adventure begins in the vibrant coastal city of Istanbul before crossing the Bosphorus from Europe to Asia and heading into the mountains of the Black Sea region.
Passing vast lakes and multi-coloured summits, you’ll discover a surprising ghost town where 500+ identical fairy-tale castles lay abandoned far removed from civilisation.
2. Private Escapes: Cappadocia - Çamlihemsin
Off-roading through fairy-tale chimneys and ancient cave formations, you’ll arrive in the enchanting Cappadocia. Become part of the magic on a sunrise balloon flight above the otherworldly landscape, before landing for a traditional breakfast spread in legendary Love Valley, privatised entirely for you.
Each moment intertwines ancient history with mysterious natural beauty. By evening, celebrate with a private party in the Goreme Open Air Museum.
3. Historical Monasteries: Çamlihemsin - Tago
You will travel north back into Turkey’s Black Sea region where you’ll off-road through immense mountains and alpine forests. Hike to an ancient monastery built into a cliff and become immersed within the surprise song of opera singers filling the walls of your museum hotel.
Cross the border into Georgia where ancient wine, indulgent food and sensational scenery surrounds you. Sleep beneath the stars in gorgeous bell tents nestled in the mountains.
