Tours in Turkey

An excellent Mediterranean climate, kilometres of unspoilt beaches, mountains, lakes, fascinating towns and villages, and a treasure house of historic and archaeological sites… Turkey tours are filled with adventure. The places we visit are world-renowned: Istanbul, Ephesus, Cappadocia, Gallipoli and Troy, and each has an undisputed place in world history.

Rightly touted as a country of wonderful beaches and coastline, Turkey is also home to untouched mountains and lakes. In the phenomenon of Pamukkale’s limestone ‘cotton castles’ and Cappadocia’s strange geological formations, nature displays its penchant for the beautiful and bizarre. Less well known, perhaps, is that Turkish food is rated as one of the world’s great cuisines, but without doubt, some of the best memories on Turkey tours will come from contact with the local population, who are renowned for their charm, hospitality and friendliness.

Highlights of Trips to Turkey

1. Explore Istanbul: The Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque and covered Grand Bazaar are all monuments to the glory of the Ottoman Empire, but these days you can also polish off your sightseeing with a cocktail and all-night partying at trendy downtown clubs.

2. Discover Cappadocia: The soft volcanic rock around Cappadocia has created a fantasy landscape of lunar curves and eerie ‘fairy chimneys’. Head underground to uncover entire cities and intricately frescoed churches carved into the rock.

3. Trek the Lycian Way: Pine-forested mountains, amazing clifftop views, ancient ruins and beautiful beaches await on this much-loved long-distance walking holiday route.

4. Go sea kayaking: Just one of the wonderful ways to discover the famous fine beaches and stunning scenery of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast.

5. Dive deep: Busy reefs, underwater caves and shipwrecks await underneath the warm waters of the Med – plenty to keep divers of all abilities happy.

6. Turkey on two wheels: Different and just that bit more dynamic, a road tour of Turkey can take you from the stunning beaches and archaeological sites of the coast high up into the hills where traditional Turkey is all around.

This trip was fab, Cappadocia has an incredibly rare landscape that feels as if you are somewhere out of this world. The walks were varied and a lot greener than I thought they would have been, although you will have definitely seen Cappadocia in depth by the time you leave. You stay just outside of the main tourist town of Goreme which is nice because it’s away from the hustle and bustle. I travelled in the last week of May so had some warmer days and some wetter, cooler ones but on a whole we were very lucky with the weather.

I got back from this trip 5 days ago. Everything was great! I don’t know where to start with my rave reviews. Our group leader was Ilham and he was amazing! His English was great and he helped us with translation at the restaurants and vendors. I loved stopping to eat at very local and family places. One place for Turkish pizzas had the whole family pitching in and we were outside near the brick oven with chickens and ducks running past us! I really appreciated that our money went to LOCAL and FAMILY run businesses! Ilham would download the tickets to the sites on his phone in advance, he made our entry so quick. He was always one step ahead of the game! Logistics were flawless, because he knew when to get to the various sites to avoid the crowds as much as possible. I enjoyed the modest hotels, once again family run and usually very convenient to the town center. This trip fulfilled all my expectations and then some! Ed
