Day 1: Istanbul – St. Petersburg

 

We meet at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport International Departures terminal at 21:35, and depart for St. Petersburg at 00:45 with AJet Airlines flight VF 293. After a comfortable flight, we take a panoramic St. Petersburg tour to begin exploring this unique city, which enchants with its elegance, architecture, and history. Founded in 1703 by Russian Tsar Peter the Great, St. Petersburg is a city that fascinates its visitors at first sight with its magnificent structures, wide avenues, and impressive history. During our panoramic tour, we proceed along Nevsky Prospect, the city's most important boulevard and, at 4.5 kilometers long, virtually the reflection of the city's soul. Named after Alexander Nevsky, one of the most famous heroes of Russian history, this boulevard is the beating heart of St. Petersburg. The architectural masterpieces encountered along the boulevard reveal the city's historical richness. We first see the Admiralty Building, which draws attention with its golden dome, and then observe the elegant structure of the majestic Kazan Cathedral, built as a small replica of the famous St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome. Throughout our tour, we have the opportunity to see the striking architecture of the Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace, the elegance of the Stroganov Palace, and Gostiny Dvor, one of the city's most important commercial points with a history of about 250 years, which has now been transformed into a modern shopping center.

The National Library of Russia, one of the most striking structures of St. Petersburg's art-filled atmosphere, the Singer House, which draws interest with its founding story, the Eliseyev Emporium, which dazzles with its massive stained glass and bronze details, and the Aurora Cinema, frequently mentioned in the memoirs of the author Nabokov, increase the visual richness of our tour. In addition, the famous Anichkov Bridge, which has become an important part of Russian literature and bears the traces of the Siege of Leningrad, offers us sections from different periods of history throughout the tour. After this fast and impressive time travel of St. Petersburg from past to present, we transfer to our hotel and check into our rooms. At the end of the tour, guests who wish can participate in the optional Russian Night Tour (100 Euros) organized by our guide. You should not miss the opportunity to have dinner at Troika Restaurant, one of the best restaurants in St. Petersburg, and watch magnificent dance shows. Transfer to our hotel after the tour.

Day 2: St. Petersburg - Murmansk

Upon our arrival in Murmansk around noon, we begin our Murmansk City Tour. Within the scope of our tour, we see the imposing Alyosha Monument, which overlooks the city and is one of the symbols of Murmansk, the legendary Lenin Icebreaker, which made history as the world's first nuclear icebreaker, the Murmansk Port, known as the gate of the North, and the Lighthouse that sheds light on the city's maritime history. In the evening hours, one of the most magical experiences of our Murmansk trip awaits us. We participate in our 4-hour Aurora Hunt (Northern Lights Tour) program to catch the dancing colors in the unique sky of the Arctic Circle. On the enchanting nights of the North, we set out for the Aurora Hunt to witness one of the most impressive natural phenomena in the sky. Moving away from the city lights, we head to the most suitable points to observe the Northern Lights accompanied by endless snow-covered landscapes. The light dance in shades of green, purple, and occasionally pink that suddenly appears in the darkness of the sky reveals this unique natural phenomenon called Aurora Borealis. Resulting from the interaction of charged particles coming from the Sun with Earth's atmosphere, the Northern Lights offer a different view every time. After our tour, transfer to our hotel, overnight at our hotel.

During our free time at the camp, you can gain interesting information from our guide about the lifestyle, traditions, and culture of the Northern peoples. After taking beautiful photos with reindeer, you can try traditional local costumes and taste traditional local soups in the warm atmosphere of the camp.

Within the scope of our tour, we visit the nostalgic Ship Cemetery bearing traces of the region's past, the giant Whale Skeleton, and the Dragon Eggs Beach, one of the extraordinary beauties of nature.

After resting a bit, guests who wish can join the optional Moscow Metro, Novodevichy Cemetery, and Arbat Street Tour (50 Euros). Accepted as the metro with the most aesthetic decoration in the world, the Moscow Metro captivates visitors with its giant chandeliers, marble columns, mosaics, and stations resembling an art gallery. Afterwards, we proceed to Novodevichy Cemetery, where the grave of Nazım Hikmet is also located. Founded in 1524, this monastery is like an open-air museum housing giant names of Russian cultural and political history such as Chekhov, Gogol, Mayakovsky, Bulgakov, Eisenstein, Khrushchev, Shostakovich, and Yeltsin. Novodevichy, meaning "New Maidens," accompanies the tragic stories of tsar-candidate women with a poetic sadness. Arbat Street, the last stop of our tour, is Moscow's most popular art and culture center. The walk we will make among street painters, musicians, colorful shops, and history-smelling buildings creates a feeling of traveling through time indeed. The famous building where Pushkin and his wife Goncharova lived will also greet you here. After our tour, we move to the hotel. Overnight at our hotel.

After breakfast at our hotel, we start our Moscow City Tour. The first stop of our tour, Red Square, is a fascinating meeting point located in the heart of Russian history. This square, which has been the scene of political and social developments throughout history, carries the traces of Russian identity in every corner. Built in the sixteenth century by Ivan the Terrible and with each dome symbolizing a Russian victory, St. Basil's Cathedral invites our visitors to a fairytale world with its eye-catching architecture. The Minin and Pozharsky monument in front of the cathedral is a symbol of the unity and courage of the Russian people. Located at the end of the square, the fascinating GUM Department Store, the Kremlin Palace rising right next to it, Lenin's Mausoleum, known worldwide as the symbol of communist ideology, the Karl Marx statue, and the famous Bolshoi Theatre operating from the 18th century to the present are the important points of our trip. A little further ahead, the Duma Parliament Building, where Russia's first elected parliament started operating in 1906, and the historical Voskresensky Gate, bombed in 1931 to allow tanks to enter Red Square, are other valuable stops we will visit. After our tour, transfer to our hotel and check into the rooms. Guests who wish can participate in the optional Kremlin Tour (50 Euros). The Kremlin is a magnificent structure accepted as the heart not only of Moscow but of all Russia with its architecture, splendor, and critical role played throughout history. Witnessing political intrigues, dynastic struggles, and cultural transformations, this unique structure makes you feel the magic of the past at every step. The Kremlin's gardens, the Grand Kremlin Palace Complex, the Concert Hall, and the surroundings of the Presidential Building harbor the most important building blocks of Russian history. The "Space Tree," erected after Yuri Gagarin's space journey and shimmering with lights falling on the Moscow River, is one of the details of our tour that attracts attention. The giant cannon and the impressive story of the bell tower cast by Tsar Ivan turn into both informative and pleasant moments with our guide's narration. Guests who wish can find the opportunity to closely see Empress Catherine's magnificent crown decorated with 5000 diamond stones. After our tour, our transfer to the airport takes place.
