Turkey is a country that divides people. Some love it, some don't. Nevertheless, had an amazing time and cannot recommend this tour enough. You might not love their political landscape, but that does not mean you won't love travelling in beautiful Turkey.
A very enjoyable, but full on, trip taking in different areas - both modern and ancient cities, archaeological sites, castles, mountains and the coastal plain. An extra day or two would have made for a more relaxing tour, with more time in places such as Berat and Saranda. Some picnic lunches, rather than lunchtime eating in restaurants would have fitted better with the itinerary and provided some extra time. But, overall the tour was brilliant and varied, the tour leader was excellent and very informative, the included meals a great experience and the hotels of a good standard - apart from the one in Tirana which was acceptable.
I have been dreaming of traveling to Turkey for a long time. I had initially booked this tour in 2020 and clearly it had to be cancelled. Five years later, my expectations were exceeded by this tour. The rich history, culture, the food and the beautiful people of Turkey— this is a trip not to be missed!
Experience the stunning sights and tantalising tastes of Turkey on this two-week adventure that takes in all the highlights and then some. Become acquainted with illustrious Istanbul, behold landscapes like no other around Cappadocia and sail the all-too-pretty islands off Kekova. Marvel at the ancient ruins of Ephesus, settle in for a spectacular soaking in Pamukkale’s thermal hot springs and reflect on the tragedies and gallantries that took place along Gallipoli’s windswept peninsula. Brimming with history, bustling with progress and bursting with flavour, Turkey intrigues and delights at every turn of this perfectly paced small group adventure.
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
Great range of activities and interesting things to do. The boat trip in particular stood out as a very high quality inclusion. Our day in Cappadocia was particularly memorable.
The Greek Island wanderer through the Cyclades was fantastic- the leader was flexible and positive all the way through - he really looked after our group. I can’t wait to do another trip with Explore
Absolutely incredible! My recent trip to Croatia with Intro Travel was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and executed.
The itinerary was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. We explored stunning coastal towns like Split and Dubrovnik, swam in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, and hiked through a breathtaking national park. Each destination offered something unique and unforgettable.
Becca was outstanding”knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. Her passion for Croatia was contagious and added so much value to the experience. Becca took us to hidden gems and local spots we would never have found on our own.
I highly recommend Intro Travel for anyone looking to explore Croatia. A five-star experience all the way!
