On this tour you will have the chance to step inside the great Hippodrome, a massive sports stadium where the chariot races of ancient Roman and Byzantium times can easily be imagined.
Visit Izmir, the birthplace of the legendary poet Homer and Turkey's most important port. Travelling along the Taurus Mountains we reach the Mediterranean coast where the waters are an exceptional shade of blue, a feature that gave raise to its moniker of "The Turquoise Coast."
Experience rural life as we pass through the countryside of Turkey and see the lush wheat fields and orchards. The Cappadocia area holds marvelous lunar landscape where churches have been carved and volcanic dust has been weathered into large cones. We can wander the tunnels and chambers of an entire underground city dug into the Cappadocia in which citizens took shelter during times of strife.
