Treasures of Turkey

15 days - from $1875

Discover the striking beauty and culture of one of the world's most enchanting destinations

From cosmopolitan Istanbul to the ancient remains of the Ottoman Empire and Greek, Roman and Seljuk civilisations, Turkey is a country of fascinating contrasts. We explore the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, taking the time to walk through Kizilcukur (Red Valley), before discovering Pasabaglari, with its towering, cone-capped ‘fairy chimneys’. We visit mystical Konya, home of the Whirling Dervishes, and the Lycian town of Phaselis. Our odyssey continues through the bizarre, breathtaking landscape of World Heritage listed Pamukkale, before heading to the ruins of Hierapolis. Ephesus is yet another captivating city of antiquity, as are the remains of the walled city of Troy and the sobering battlefields of Gallipoli. Our journey concludes back in Istanbul, where there is time to stroll, shop or relax with a pot of apple tea in the former Byzantine capital of Constantinople.
