Turkey is a land of contrasts, with a vibrant modern culture following a long history showing the marks of several different civilisations which have left a wealth of incredible ancient sites to explore. The scenery also varies hugely, from the dramatic Bosphorous strait in Istanbul, to the beautiful Mediterranean coastline, forested hills and mountains further inland and special highlights like the surreal landscapes of Pamukkale and Cappadocia.
This comprehensive 19 day tour takes all this in and more. Starting and finishing in Istanbul, the tour learns about modern history at the war memorials and ANZAC cemeteries at Gallipoli before developing deeper into the past with tours of some of the region's most important historic sites at Troy, Ephesus, Hieropolis, Aphrodisias, Aspendos and Side. There are plenty of stops to relax and enjoy the seaside at the coastal towns of Kusadasi and Fethiye and Antalya, with a 12-island boat cruise also included in the Gulf of Fethiye.
The tour then heads inland, following the ancient Silk Road trading route to see the Sultanhani Caravansary at Konya before heading south east to see Lake Van, Biblical Mount Ararat, Kars and the ruins of ancient Ani.
There are a wealth of opportunities to taste traditional and modern Turkish cuisine and to pick up souvenirs and learn more about this fascinating country along the way. Accommodation is in a mix of 4-5 star and boutique style properties, either on a breakfast only or half-board basis depending on the location and other options available nearby.
The Flying Discovery Tour is a 19-day adventure that takes you through the most captivating regions of Western and Eastern Turkey, blending ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural experiences. Starting in Istanbul, you’ll explore the city’s magnificent palaces, mosques, and UNESCO-listed landmarks before heading to the Gallipoli Battlefields, where history comes alive.
Journey through time as you visit legendary sites such as Troy, Pergamon, and Ephesus, walk in the footsteps of ancient civilizations in Aphrodisias and Hierapolis, and marvel at the stunning white terraces of Pamukkale. The tour then leads you to the turquoise coast, where you can unwind in Fethiye and Antalya, before heading inland along the historic Silk Road, stopping in Konya and Cappadocia. In the second half of the journey, you’ll venture into the mystical east, exploring the ancient Urartian capital of Van, Akdamar Island, Mt Ararat and Kars.
