What to expect

The ancient region of Anatolia makes up most of central Turkey and its folklore has shaped much of the country's wider culture and customs. And this world-famous show tells you the story of its past through the medium of dance.

Featuring the incredible ‘Fire of Anatolia' dance troupe, it's Turkey's answer to Riverdance. Cue a cast of 120 dancers stepping, stomping and swirling to traditional folk music from the Black Sea to the Balkans. And ballet and acrobatic modern dance acts are all backed by swirling Turkish music and drumming. Add dazzling lighting and costumes and you've got yourself a show to remember.

Look out especially for the fastest dances. ‘Fire of Anatolia' holds the world record for performing the most dance steps in one minute – 241 to be precise. The trip includes transfers to and from the venue, the ancient Aspendos theatre, as well as your entrance tickets.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Women of Antalya, Past to Present

Nearly two millennia ago, Plancia Magna blazed a trail by making an impressive impact on the city of Perge despite the usual passive role of women at that time. She was born into a wealthy, powerful family, but instead of an easy life, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and character was celebrated long after her time, and inspired women through the ages to seek influential roles in society. Your National Geographic-trained guide will reveal the ancient city of Perge with a focus on the life and legacy of Plancia Magna, an inspirational figure even today. Perhaps Plancia was a source of inspiration for Hatice Adıgüzel, whose workshop you will visit next. Discover the skills and artistry involved in creating lamps and garden ornaments from gourds, and learn from Hatice herself what sets her business apart - her leadership in a male-dominated workforce, her commitment to empowering local women and her choice of sustainable materials. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own decorative gourd and learn more about Hatice's work with the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing women to grow and decorate the gourds from their own homes for the business. They also make the snacks you'll enjoy during the workshop. Hatice's aim is to help women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.
