We really liked the historic sites we visited in Turkey. It brought back all the biblical history of Paul’s preaching to the Ephesians. Ephesus and Troy were the highlight of our trip.
Embark on an adventure through Turkey that'll get you closer than you ever thought possible. Let the sights and smells of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar whisk you into the past, immersing you in the city's rich history and traditions showcased by iconic landmarks such as the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Moving inland, let the dramatic rock formations and underground cities of Cappadocia take your imagination to ancient times and distant kingdoms as you explore on foot or by bicycle. Lose yourself in the history of the ancient Greeks and Romans with visits to Ephesus and Pinare before heading to Turkey's stunning Turquoise Coast for hikes along the Lycian Way and a boat ride to see cliff-side rock tombs along the Dalyan River. Overflowing with delicious food, stunning landscapes and deep cultural traditions, Turkey will stay with you long after you return home.
