Take the road less travelled on this 20-day adventure through Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia — where ancient wonders, rich traditions, and breathtaking landscapes await. Uncover Turkey’s layered past at Karakus Tumulus, Gobekli Tepe, and the once-mighty city of Ani. Cross into Georgia, where the Nankali Fortress, Caravanserai, Gergeti Trinity Church, and Uplistsikhe — aptly named the Fortress of God—showcase the country’s deep history. Then, Armenia takes centre stage with the grand Republic Square, the sacred Khor Virap Monastery, and the stunning Tatev Monastery perched high above the Vorotan Gorge. Beyond the iconic sites, this journey is all about connection — sharing meals with locals, learning age-old culinary traditions, and soaking up the stories that bring these lands to life. By the time you leave, your heart (and belly) will be full, and your camera roll overflowing.

I knew from the description that it would be a fast paced trip and that we would sleep in a different place each night and that’s exactly what I wanted = an overview so I could see whether I wanted to go back anywhere. If you’re like me, who enjoys going out for dinner and drinks each night, you would be very tired at the end of trip. However, many chose to stay in and go to bed and I believe for them the trip was not tiring, even for the older ones. Morning starts are reasonable - we left at 8am each day. Simon was a fabulous tour guide and the local guides were all wonderful. Do take small euro bills = you definitely need them. (also take coins for toilet stops). Definitely have a revolut, or similar, card. The optional activities, whilst nice,, are highly, highly over-priced, shame on the travel specialist! One thing I missed, was more. recommendations to authentic local food with local prices. All in all, a fabulous trip and I’m so glad I did it. I will use this agency again for their professionalism.

Evia is an amazing island, very green and lush and the walking was varied. I was pleased by the amount of history and local knowledge imparted by the guides. The butterflies, flowers, tortoises and slow worms interested me a lot. The hotel provided a very comfortable base with the sea, tavernas and sea front giving evening entertainment. This is a great mix of moderately challenging walking with great food, wonderful history and interesting nature. I would heartily reccommend this holliday

White rocks fab,water not warm,skin felt refreshed after dip. Hotels used were high quality. Breakfasts delicious. Time to visit museum shops and time for coffee break.
