Turkey Experience

About this trip

Hit Turkey’s hotspots (and lesser-known secrets) on this epic 19-day adventure. Learn about the country’s ancient history and taste the deliciously hearty local cuisine along the way, from Istanbul to Tbilisi. Begin your journey in the only city to straddle two continents, then travel south to admire Ephesus – the largest Greco-Roman ruins in the Mediterranean world! Explore the surreal terrains of Cappadocia, then trace Turkey’s Black Sea coast from the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Safranbolu to the cliffside Sumela Monastery and the highland culture on Ayder Plateau. Tantalise your tastebuds with freshly brewed Turkish tea in the Rize Province and sample local cheese with the family that makes it. Wrap it all up in the cobblestoned Old City of Tbilisi in Georgia.
