Read what other travelers have to say about Aegean Trooper Tour
Step into Turkey’s rich tapestry of history on the Aegean Trooper Tour, a five-day journey that begins in Gallipoli and ends in Istanbul. Delve into the moving stories of the Gallipoli Battlefields, then trace the footsteps of ancient civilizations through Troy, Pergamum, and the world-renowned ruins of Ephesus. Marvel at the natural wonder of Pamukkale’s travertine pools before returning to Istanbul’s vibrant embrace. This city sightseeing tour package is perfect for travelers who crave both historical depth and striking landscapes, with the unique advantage of exploring multiple UNESCO sites in a single, expertly guided itinerary.
One of the most emotionally touching places in Turkey, today we visit the WW1 Battlefields of Gallipoli including Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair Memorials, ANZAC Cove, The Nek, Johnston's Jolly, original trenches and tunnels.
Depart from Çanakkale and head towards Troy, where we will explore the ancient city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the new, award-winning Troy Museum. We continue on to the old village of Behramkale, a picturesque settlement with stone houses and narrow streets that offer a glimpse into traditional Turkish village life. You will have time to explore the village, take in the beautiful scenery, and perhaps enjoy a cup of Turkish tea or coffee at a local café. From Behramkale, we head south to Kuşadası.
Absorb yourself in history today with a guided tour of Ephesus and a visit to the site of the Temple of Artemis. Feel the mystical atmosphere of the ancient city and theatre before exploring the Ephesus Archaeology Museum, which houses an impressive collection of artifacts from the region. Carpet weaving has long traditions in Turkey, and at the carpet village, we learn how the carpets are made by hand and what determines their value.
This morning we will enjoy a display of locally handcrafted leather goods before heading to the magnificent white calcium terraces, known as Travertines, in Pamukkale where we also tour the ancient city of Hierapolis. Take a dip, amongst ancient columns, in the hot springs that were used in Roman times for their therapeutic powers.
Today you head back to Istanbul. You will be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Istanbul where the tour concludes.
