9/15 Hodjapsha Dance Show before my RS Turkey tour kicks off 9/17/22

I'm about to book a ticket to the Dance Show recommended by CWSocial (thanks! CW) before my RS Best of Turkey tour starts. Thought I would post here in case any other tour members are interested. I will be at the Acra for a few days on my own in Istanbul and this is one of the things I thought would be fun.

I understand that reservations are necessary. I will wait a week or two before booking my seat in case anyone on my tour would like to coordinate attendance. Apparently the venue is not easy to find, so I may need to book a guide! Lol

Excitedly looking forward to my first RS Tour! I usually go solo, but couldn't quite make the connections work out, and the night bus required for the trip from Cappadocia to Pamukkale did not appeal. This Tour seemed to hit all my required stops and others I hadn't planned. I hope to have a wonderful time and maybe make some new friends in the process.

How fun that you're going to the Hodjapasha Dance Night, Donna K! I hope you'll love it! If you'll have a data plan, Google Maps will get you there.

There's also a bazaar in a few lanes near the Acra. You'll see it on your way from the hotel to the Hagia Sophia.

Enjoy the show and your tour!!

You will love this tour! We arrived 4 days early to Istanbul and stayed at the tour hotel. Hotel staff booked us dinner at a restaurant and a car to drive us there and delivered us back to the hotel! Fantastic evening, men at a table near us started singing and playing traditional music which was delightful. This trip was full of unexpected surprises.

Thanks CWSocial, I feel like I know you from your trip report. It was invaluable in my planning. It's starting to seem "real" now that my trip is only a couple of weeks away! I can hardly wait!!!.

Thanks, Judy B, some of the reviews for the Acra were less than stellar, so I'm happy to hear that they were so helpful. I've asked them for a driver from the airport and they were very responsive.

Donna K, I'm glad to hear my 3 Weeks In Turkey trip report was helpful. And I'm so excited that your tour is coming up! I hope you'll come back and let us know how it all went. Enjoy the show and have a great tour!
