Magnificent blue tiled mosques and Ottoman palaces, pure turquoise seas, rocky, forested mountains and spectacular geological oddities — Turkey is all this. And always, friendly people comfortable in both new and old cultures.
Our journeys can include all these features, walking and exploring traditional and classical sites and seldom visited areas.

In Istanbul we tour the Byzantine masterpiece of Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Justinian’s underground cisterns, the sprawling opulence of the Topkapi Palace, and bustling Covered and Spice markets. We drive and walk along Alexander’s route through Lycia and visit fascinating museums holding wonders from 4 millennia. Some of the shorter tours visit well known, but still incredible places. For others, a sense of adventure is required – some of these areas are not visited very often, and itineraries may change due to local conditions, weather or unique opportunities.
