Highlights
Eat, swim, sunbake, repeat – that’s what will happen when you get cruising along Turkey's Mediterranean coastline. The choice is yours if you’d like to go exploring or just relax on deck.
Dine in the home of a local family, where you’ll be treated to a traditional home-cooked Turkish meal and have the opportunity to learn about life in the desert.
Wander ancient sites with a local leader – thought all the best Roman ruins were in Italy? Think again! Turkey is home to one of the best-preserved classics of Ephesus.
Explore the weird and wonderful world of Cappadocia – this might be the most unusual place in Turkey. Learn all about its fairy chimneys and sprawling rock formations from your expert local leader.
Wade through the scenic hot springs at Pamukkale – pure white calcium deposits that cascade down the cliffs overlooking the town are said to have magical healing properties.
Itinerary
On the "Real Turkey" adventure, you’ll dive deep into a country where Europe meets Asia and every day brings new discoveries. Spanning 15 days, this tour starts and ends in Istanbul, weaving through Faralya, Canakkale, Cappadocia, and more. Young adults and spirited travelers will love the blend of ancient history and vibrant modern culture.
Sample local delicacies (and maybe shisha), trace the footsteps of legends like Marc Antony, and unwind on the coasts of the Dardanelles, Aegean, and Mediterranean. Discover Sufism, marvel at the whirling dervishes, and explore the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia—don’t miss the sunrise hot air balloons!
USP: A behind-the-scenes look at Turkey’s spiritual and artistic heritage, paired with stunning landscapes and unique cultural experiences. This tour is perfect for those who want both depth and variety in their travels.
day 1Istanbul
Hos geldin! Welcome to Turkey. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight in Istanbul – the only city in the world to straddle two continents. Until then, maybe get out into the city streets and wander around or go hunting for a real doner kebab and some authentic Turkish delight (which pairs nicely with a cup of Turkish coffee). If you arrive a day or two early, maybe consider taking a day trip to Princes’ Islands. After the meeting tonight, why not head out for dinner with your group and get a taste of the fabulous local cuisine.
