Glories of Turkey
14 days, 13 nights
There can never be too much Turkey! This is a country that is jam packed with so many things to see and do that it merits as long a stay as possible. This 2-week itinerary caters to those who have the time to explore this fascinating country, following the classic circular route that will show you the best, the most historic and by far the most scenic aspects Turkey has to offer. Get a feel for the awesome grandeur of Turkey as you delight in the treasures of Istanbul ranging from the rich and ornate legacy of the Byzantine palaces and cathedrals-turned-mosques to the glory of Topkapi, the pinnacle of Ottoman Empire wealth. After walking through the Grand Bazaar, head out for the battlefields of Gallipoli, the remains of the city of Troy, then enter a world of the great Greco-Roman ruins that line the Aegean coast. You will find the Roman city of Ephesus awe-inspiring, and the site of the Virgin Mary’s home humbling.
Route Details
After seeing the astounding hot springs cascading over white, mountainside pools at Pamukkale, head for the Mediterranean and the resort town of Antalya that combines seaside pleasures with Roman antiquities. Then it’s back into the interior to the heart of Cappadocia, a land of whirling dervishes and extraordinary sculpted landscapes where caves are filled with early Christian frescoes. The tour stops in Turkey’s capital so that you can visit the country’s premier museums of antiquities before returning to Istanbul at the end of a journey that will never be forgotten.
