General Information

Bridging two continents, Turkey is blessed with a stunning variety of natural environments and cultural experiences. She is rich in reminders of a fascinating past and lives in an exciting and optimistic present.

Sun - kissed beaches, sparkling seas. Sail into hidden emerald coves, dive into her cool waters and emerge into the bright, warm light. Climb through fragrant woods to discover ancient ruins forgotten but content. Sit at ease in the shade of an olive tree, listening to the tinkling bells of foraging goats and see the quick smile and friendly wave of a young goat-herd.

Breathe the crisp morning air atop Mt Nemrut Dagi as you wait for the warm golden light of dawn to wash over your face, see it animate the mysterious stone faces of statues that have witnessed the same scene for millenia.

Experience the serene calm of Sumela Monastery perched improbably on a cliff rising 500 meters from a forest valley. The breathtaking sight of lake Van, azure water surrounded by windswept plains with lonely ruined monuments sitting quietly.

Explore the colourful bazaars of Istanbul with their carpets and spices and wind - down on a roof - top terrace with Turkish coffee and sweet baklava while watching a romantic sunset over the splendour of the Blue Mosque.

Trek through mysterious Black Sea mountains where traditional lifestyles survive intact. The thick, lush forests, wild streams and waterfalls will delight.

The Roman Theater at Ephesus

And so much more awaits you. The Roman ruins of Ephesus and Pergamon, the heights of Mt Ararat, the whirling Dervishes of Konya, the pools of Pamukkale, the Georgian Churches of Artvin, the myths and legends, the music, the food, temples, theatres, palaces, caravanserai's, mosques and churches and above all. The hospitality of the people you will meet.
