At the age of 26, when his reign began, Sultan Süleyman sought to build an empire more powerful than Alexander the Great and to render the Ottomans invincible. Throughout his 46-year reign, his fame as the greatest warrior and ruler of his age spreads both to the East and West. With his companion Pargalı İbrahim, Süleyman achieves great victories, and makes his name known in the Muslim World. Süleyman called İbrahim his brother, friend and advisor.

Sefer is a character who grew up without parents, never left his village except for military service, and is a bit naive but also intelligent. In his dreams, he sees himself dancing with girls more beautiful than he could ever hope to meet in real life, by the pool of a luxury hotel. One day, he learns from the newspaper that the place in his dreams is Bodrum. Excitedly, he exclaims, "I found it!" but there is a major problem: Sefer has no money. With the help of those who love him, money is found, and he sets off on his journey. When Sefer arrives in Bodrum, he mistakenly believes that the "all-inclusive" concept he had inquired about over the phone applies to the entire town. This misunderstanding leads to all sorts of trouble for him and makes headlines in the newspapers.
