About the trip

This 14-night small-group tour by G Adventures offers a varied itinerary across Turkey’s diverse landscapes and history. It begins in Istanbul with a walking tour and a boat trip on the Bosphorus, revealing the city’s busy streets and waterways before heading inland to Cappadocia. Here, otherworldly rock formations and underground cities provide a striking contrast to the cityscape, with a local homestay offering a close-up of rural life.

Further south, the tour visits the white terraces and ruins at Pamukkale, where ancient Hierapolis lies close to thermal springs, before continuing to the archaeological sites of Ephesus and Troy. A stop at the Gallipoli battlefields adds a modern historical layer before returning to Istanbul, wrapping up a route that offers a spectrum of Turkey’s cultural and natural heritage. The trip’s pace blends scheduled visits with local meals and moments of leisure, all under the guidance of an experienced local CEO and employing private transport.
