Istanbul – Amsterdam
We will meet at the international departures terminal of Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport three hours before our flight to complete our ticketing and baggage procedures. Our flight to Amsterdam with Pegasus Airlines' scheduled service will take approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes. Upon arrival in Amsterdam, we will set out to explore the city. One of Europe's most cosmopolitan cities, famous for its history, cultural richness, canals, museums and lively atmosphere, Amsterdam also stands out among other European capitals with its liberal lifestyle. Throughout the year, many events, festivals and concerts are held in this young-spirited city, which is also filled with galleries, museums and exhibitions showcasing classical and modern works of art. During our Amsterdam tour, the Damrak, the city's most popular square, the Royal Palace, one of the official residences of the Dutch royal family, and the Oude Kerk (Old Church), the oldest church in Amsterdam, will be among the places we visit. After free time for shopping and dining, we will depart for our hotel in the evening and have free time to relax.
Amsterdam (Marken & Volendam - Zaanse Schans)
Free time after breakfast. Guests who wish may join our Marken & Volendam - Zaanse Schans (100 €) excursion, which will be additionally organized by our guide. As we explore Marken and Volendam, where we can best observe the traditional Dutch lifestyle, you will be deeply impressed by their natural beauty and the colorful houses lined up one after another. The residents of the village of Marken, who used to make a living from fishing, changed their way of life after the island became a tourist destination and was connected to the mainland by a bridge, as handicrafts and the production of traditional clothing became widespread. The houses built on stilts to prevent flooding are still protected today. We will reach Volendam, which is much larger than Marken, after a short journey across the bridge. In the area, where there are various cheese producers and a cheese-tasting workshop along the way, we will visit a cheese producer and learn about cheese production. After a short period of free time for shopping, we will head toward Volendam. In this beautiful town, where famous artists such as Picasso and Renoir stayed for short periods in the 20th century, you may see many residents walking around in traditional clothing. While exploring the town, where fishing is still partially practiced, you will be able to see historic fishermen's houses, museums, and workshops and shops where handicrafts are produced. You will have time for lunch in Volendam, which is known for its traditional cuisine. After visiting these two beautiful villages, we continue our excursion toward Zaanse Schans Theme Park, where we will spend half a day. This open-air museum, located in the town of Zaandam, was created to reflect the region's rural life and industrial activities in the 18th and 19th centuries. The area, famous for its working windmills, reflects the Netherlands' past to its visitors with its wooden houses, workshops, and warehouses in the traditional architectural style. After our free time in the town, which also captivates visitors with its natural beauty, we will return to Amsterdam and, after free time for dinner in the city, meet at the time determined by our guide and travel to our hotel for accommodation, with free time to rest.
Amsterdam – (Bruges) - Brussels
After breakfast, we complete our check-out procedures at our hotel and depart for Brussels. Guests who wish may join the Bruges tour (45 €) to be organized as an optional excursion by our guide. Following our journey, we will arrive in Bruges, known as the Venice of the North.

Located in southwestern Germany on the banks of the Moselle River, Trier is one of the oldest cities in the country. Known as Augusta Treverorum during the Roman Empire, Trier is a fascinating city with its rich history and architecture. Trier's history dates back to the Roman period, and the city was built by the Romans in the 16th century BC. Therefore, many ruins and structures dating from the ancient Roman period can still be visited today. These include the Porta Nigra (Black Gate), listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Kaiserthermen (Imperial Baths), and the Roman bridge (Römerbrücke). After our tour here, we will continue towards Luxembourg. Located in the heart of Europe due to its strategic position, Luxembourg is among the world's most economically developed countries. Founded in 963, the city lies at the intersection of Roman and Germanic cultures and has been influenced by both civilizations. Having acquired its present-day borders after the Treaty of London, the country, whose official name is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, shares the same name with its capital. In addition to its natural beauty, Luxembourg also impresses visitors with its historic character. Among the places we will see are the old town of Casemates du Bock, featuring historic fortifications and underground tunnels listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; Place Guillaume, one of the city's main squares; and Chemin de la Corniche, described as the most beautiful balcony in Europe.

Luxembourg - Metz - Paris
After breakfast, we will complete our check-out early in the morning and leave our hotel to set off for Paris. On the way, we will explore the city of Metz. One of the oldest cities in France, Metz has changed hands continually throughout its history due to the wars between France and Germany. In addition to its history-filled atmosphere, where you can see reflections of both cultures, its magnificent natural surroundings will also impress you greatly. One of France’s greenest cities, Metz has enchanting scenery with the Moselle and Seille Rivers and lakes.

After our tour here, we set off for Paris. Upon arrival, we begin exploring Paris, one of the world’s most important metropolises, where you can see traces of its history in every corner. Paris is undoubtedly one of the first symbols that comes to mind when romance is mentioned, thanks to the way its entire city is shaped by neoclassical architecture. Adorned with Haussmann buildings, from its wide boulevards to its side streets, Paris welcomes visitors as if they were in an open-air museum and offers them a wide range of experiences, from art to culture and from fashion to gastronomy, every time they visit. Our first stop on our Paris city tour is the Champs Elysees Avenue, the first place that comes to mind when shopping is mentioned.
