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.
