About the trip

This ten-night itinerary from G Adventures offers a thorough traverse through Turkey’s layers of history and scenery. It begins with wandering Sultanahmet's Old City in Istanbul where street food scents mingle with the calls to prayer. From there, the route threads through Troy and the classical ruins of Ephesus, with the echoes of ancient empires palpable beneath Roman columns.

Subsequent days bring contrasting landscapes: the solemn WWI battlefields of Gallipoli provide stark reflection, while the fairy chimney formations of Cappadocia invite hikes and an optional balloon ascent for those inclined to see the land from above. The tour includes time underground in Kaymaklı, a labyrinthine subterranean city once home to early Christians avoiding persecution.

G Adventures provides a blend of private vehicle transfers, public buses, and an internal flight to ease travel. The small-group style aims to maintain a balance between structure and flexibility. Evening meals include a home-cooked dinner with a local family, grounding the journey in authentic hospitality rather than tourist routines.
