About the trip

This escorted tour by G Adventures sets off in Istanbul, where the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar provide a solid grounding in Turkey’s layered history. A boat cruise on the Bosphorus Strait reveals the city’s position between Europe and Asia with the continental divide marked by the waterway.

From Istanbul the tour heads historically west to Troy, where the ruins stir tales of Greek mythology accompanying a specialist talk on the Trojan War. The town of Şirince offers a quieter pace with a cooking class to learn the local cuisine’s flavours. The journey continues to Pamukkale, where the white mineral-rich terraces provide an unusual spectacle. Cappadocia’s underground cities and fairy chimneys, marking a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are reached by internal flight.

Across the route, the group stays in locally run hotels that vary but generally place you close to the action. The pace means substantial travel between locations but affords ample opportunity to appreciate the range of landscapes and histories that spread through Turkey.
