We were a small group of 6, lovely people who helped make this a great holiday - along with our wonderful guide Alkan and our driver Ugur. We packed a lot into our 6 full days - tours around Istanbul and Antalya plus visits to fabulous ancient sites such as Troy, Ephesus, Hierapolis and the ancient city of Perge and wandering around the back streets of pretty towns. Plenty of time to explore .
All objectives achieved in terms of historical sites explored. Exodus delivery is exactly matched to our requirements in terms of organisation, hotel venues and travel experience
All excellent despite the weather over which we have no control! Exodus provides a comfortable and friendly atmosphere for travel. The itineraries are varied and the guides really know their stuff! I appreciate their care and they go out of their way to assist us.
Turkey is a feast for mind and soul – and this compact adventure is a meze-like menu of the best bits. Guided by an expert local tour leader, you’ll experience the many wonders of Istanbul, walk in the footsteps of Achilles in Troy, bathe in the thermal waters of the Cotton Castle, and master Turkish cuisine in a family-run cooking class. There’s plenty more to enjoy too – including plenty of natural beauty – providing the perfect introduction to a land of endless adventures.
Begin your adventure in the transcontinental city of Istanbul, an enthralling cultural powerhouse packed with history, architecture and incredible cuisine.
If you have time after your flight, you may want to explore the city solo before a deeper exploration tomorrow.
