Aegean Coast
The Aegean Coast has the highest concentration of ancient sites in Turkey.
Turkey is a vast and diverse country with vibrant cities, historical sites, mile upon mile of pretty coastline, incredible scenery and magical landscapes. Istanbul is the crossroads of Asia and Europe; the familiar and the exotic sit comfortably side by side. But travel further east and the culture and atmosphere become more obviously Central Asian.
There are two distinct sides to Turkey. There is the southern coastline crammed with cheap hotels catering to mass package tours and cheap flights, and then there is the rest of the country. We can help you choose the south coast-based hotels with care. Admittedly, there are points where the two meet, but for the most part, it is possible to travel around Turkey without encountering crowds of tourists.
This June, join historian Ian Colvin on a small group tour exploring Central Turkey. From Ankara to the captivating rock-cut cave churches of Cappadocia and Konya, home of Islam’s greatest poet, Rumi, delve into the region’s diverse history. Visit UNESCO World Heritage sites and journey through ancient eras, from Roman and Byzantine to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Traverse mountains and open steppes to uncover the beauty and heritage of Anatolia’s heartlands in this 12-day adventure.
