Start off your Ross experience in Turkey, a land truly at the crossroad of civilizations, with Shish Kebaby One More Time, an MTrek melding breathtaking culture and staggering nightlife. We begin in Istanbul, the ‘Gateway Between East and West,’ exploring historical wonders, such as the famous Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, dynamic bazaars, including the Grand Bazaar itself, an epic nightlife scene, a banging Bosphorus booze cruise, and scrumtrulescent foodstuffs that manage to tickle all five senses. Nightly doner runs are just the beginning. After getting our fill of the ordered chaos that is all at once a modern metropolis, historical remnant, and pulsing national hub, we leave the city for the historical and natural wonders of Antalya, where we will explore Greek and Roman ruins, a Middle Age castle, spectacular cascades, and one of the finest silky smooth, white sand beaches in Eurasia. And take another boat trip, because why not? After replenishing our tans, and further bonding night-bus style, we head off to balloon our way over Cappadocia, and traverse the World Heritage-listed Goreme monastic complex and structurally impressive ‘Love Valley.’ With Vietnam, Cuba, and Ireland MTrek veterans taking the lead, you’re guaranteed to be in capable hands for your first formative experience of the next two years.
