2 Capitals 1 Soul: From the Empire of Hittites to Modern Türkiye
Travel through time on this extraordinary journey from the mystical landscapes of Cappadocia to the political heart of the nation. We begin by driving back 3,500 years to Hattusa, the legendary capital of the Hittite Empire. You will walk through the monumental Lion’s Gate, explore the open-air rock sanctuary of Yazılıkaya, and discover the royal tombs of Alacahöyük. After a deep dive into ancient history, we head to Ankara, the modern capital. On day two, we honor the founder of Türkiye at Anıtkabir, wander the historic streets of Hamamönü, and climb the Ankara Castle for a panoramic view of the city. We finish our adventure at the world-renowned Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, seeing the gold and bronze treasures you’ve learned about all day. It’s the perfect blend of ancient mystery and modern spirit.
