Highlights and Treasures of Turkey

From the cosmopolitan city of Istanbul to the ancient ruins of the Ottoman Empire as well as Greek, Roman and Seljuk civilisations, Turkey is a country full of fascinating contrasts.

We discover the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia as we walk through Kizilçukur (Red Valley) and explore Pasabaglar, with its unique rock formations known locally as fairy chimneys.

The mystical city of Konya was the home of Mevlana, founder of the Whirling Dervishes, and Termessos is an ancient city with impressive Greco-Roman remains.

We also visit the extraordinary natural wonder of Pamukkale, one of the world’s most breathtaking sights, before discovering the ruins of Hierapolis – a city founded by the king of Pergamon.

Some of the many other highlights of Turkey experienced on this comprehensive journey include the magnificent site of the ancient city Ephesus, the fabled walled city of Troy and the poignant battlefields of Gallipoli.

Enjoy a cruise around the hidden coves and islets around Kekova.
