The Magnificent Dream Triangle Tour (Departing from Ankara)

1. Day 1

   Ankara – Stuttgart – Strasbourg – (Fairy-Tale Villages of Alsace)

   Our first stop is Eguisheim, named “The French’s Favorite Village” in 2013; with its colorful houses reflecting Alsatian architecture, it looks like something straight out of a postcard. Next, we head to Colmar, famous for its medieval buildings, Gothic churches, and colorful houses: St. Martin’s Church, built entirely of pink stone; “Little Venice,” which evokes Venice with its small canals; Maison Pfister, one of the city’s oldest houses; and the Renaissance-style Maison des Têtes, whose facade is adorned with a hundred figures.
   
   Our third stop is the medieval town of Kaysersberg, known for its colorful houses and narrow streets; its 13th-century castle and the Gothic Sainte-Croix Church are the town’s landmarks. Finally, in Riquewihr—one of Alsace’s most charming villages, with its half-timbered houses, flower-lined streets, and ramparts—we’ll see the castle ruins and stroll along the old ramparts. Transfer to the hotel; overnight stay in Strasbourg or the surrounding area.
