The Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace in Istanbul as well as ancient temples in Ephesus and Pergamon are some of the sights visited on this inexpensive package tour from Friendly Planet Travel. If the dates work for you, this is a great price for a package that explores multiple cities in Turkey.<\/p>\n

The eight-day Taste of Turkey tour costs $1,572 per person, based on double occupancy, with tax and fees for departures on Jan. 18 and Feb. 1. The price is good for reservations made before Oct. 12; it goes up $300 after that date (other departure dates are available too but not at this price).<\/p>\n
