Another great trip with Explore. First week of November and great weather for walking - blue skies all week and low to mid 20s. Our guide Alper was brilliant - friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Each day of walking gave a different landscape, views and lovely lunch stops in rural village 'cafés' - pancakes and fresh orange and pomegranate juice (try the mixed juice!).
Boat trip on the last day was great fun too - definitely take your swimming things (sea much warmer than the hotel swimming pools!)
As expected based on the trip notes and previous reviews, some accommodation was a bit run down but it was all clean and the showers were powerful and (nearly always) warm, with good breakfasts.
Would highly recommend
Get your Turkish delights on a 15-day adventure from Istanbul. This trip is a mix of ancient ruins and modern cities, Islamic history and Ottoman influence, inland discoveries and coastal cruising – and everything in between! Discover Gallipoli on a guided tour that will teach you about its significance during the First World War, unlock the secrets of the ancient city of Ephesus, admire Oludeniz’s Blue Lagoon from high up on the Lycian Way and swim in the Mediterranean on a traditional gulet cruise from Kas. From the winding laneways of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar to the bizarre landscapes of Cappadocia, you'll discover the local’s side to Turkey.
