An Interlude in Turkey 2008: 17 days

27 May - 17 June

 

Turkey fascinates, astonishes and informs.

The tremendous diversity of Turkey and it's long and turbulent history has left unique historic monuments to the many civilizations which conquered and occupied this land. 

We have worked closely with our operators in Turkey to bring you the very best of this country. Our ground travel will be in a deluxe air-conditioned mini coach and the tour includes two short domestic flights and a 3 night cruise.

Our English speaking local guide will be with us throughout Turkey. From exotic Istanbul, the former capital of the Roman, Byzantium and Ottoman Empires, where East meets West to Ephesus; a remarkable preserved Roman city; a Gulet cruise (wooden motorsailing vessel) along the Turkish Riviera with the crystal clear water of the Agean Sea lapping the magnificent coastline, vast and pristine beaches surrounded by olive groves, rocky crags and pine woods.

All this plus castles, temples, tombs, magnificent mosques, churches, antique cities , ruins and national parks.  Cappadocia and it's surreal landscape, where soft volcanic rock has over the years eroded into hundreds of bazaar shaped pillars, cones and chimneys.  To top it all off the remarkable friendly Turks and their delicious Turkish cuisine.
