Itinerary

Journey from the historic heart of Istanbul to the remote landscapes of eastern Türkiye on an extraordinary adventure combining ancient cities, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Mediterranean sailing and the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia. Explore Istanbul, Gallipoli, Troy, Ephesus and Pamukkale before relaxing aboard a traditional gulet along the turquoise coast.

Continue through the landscapes of Cappadocia and follow the route east to discover Kars, Ani, Lake Van and the remarkable legacy of the Urartian, Armenian, Seljuk and Ottoman civilisations. From Ishak Pasha Palace and Akdamar Island to the volcanic Nemrut Crater, Vanadokya and the spectacular Sat Lakes of Hakkari, this expedition ventures far beyond Türkiye’s classic highlights.
From Europe to Asia, ancient ruins to remote mountain landscapes, and the Aegean coast to Türkiye’s easternmost frontiers, this is Türkiye at its most diverse and undiscovered.
