> Ottoman mosques and a Cappadocia sunrise, travelled with sisters


## Overview

The same route as our best-selling Turkey trip, run as a departure for Muslim women only. The travelling group is women, the guides are women wherever you want them to be, and the rhythm of the days is set by that rather than by a mixed-group compromise: unhurried mornings, proper time in the mosques, and evenings that are comfortable for everyone.


## Day by day

### Days 1–3 — Istanbul
Sultanahmet at an easy pace: the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar, with a women-only hammam afternoon and Friday prayer together.

### Days 4–6 — Cappadocia
Fly to Kayseri. Sunrise balloon flight, Göreme's rock-cut churches and a cave-hotel night, with a village mosque for evening prayer.

### Day 7 — Konya
The Mevlâna Museum and Rumi's legacy, then a quiet afternoon — deliberately slow after Cappadocia.

### Days 8–9 — Pamukkale
Travertine terraces, Hierapolis and thermal pools, with time in the afternoon to rest rather than rush.

### Days 10–12 — Antalya
Kaleiçi harbour, Hadrian's Gate and the waterfalls, a free final afternoon and departure transfers.

## FAQ

**Who is this departure for?**
Muslim women only, including women joining on their own. The travelling group and the trip leader are women; male staff are not part of the travelling group on these dates.

**Can I room on my own?**
Yes, for a supplement. Sister rooming with another traveller is standard and most people choose it.

**Is the itinerary different from the mixed trip?**
The route is the same; the pace and the group are not. Days start later, there is more time in the mosques, and the evenings are built for the group rather than around a bar.
