Turkey Tours

An active traveller’s heaven: rugged coast, bizarre inland geography and a continent-crossing capital

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.

We were a small group of 6, lovely people who helped make this a great holiday – along with our wonderful guide Alkan and our driver Ugur. We packed a lot into our 6 full days – tours around Istanbul and Antalya plus visits to fabulous ancient sites such as Troy, Ephesus, Hierapolis and the ancient city of Perge and wandering around the back streets of pretty towns. Plenty of time to explore .

Rebecca Halstead Essential Turkey

Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria were countries we had always wanted to visit and this trip not only took us to the amazing capitals but introduced to the other areas of these three countries making a fascinating and varied trip. As ever our guide Barni was excellent in all aspects of being a tour leader giving us lots of suggestions as to what to see or visit in our spare time even taking us on a 6:30am tour of Brasnov so we could see the town at its best.
