Tours and Holidays in Turkey
If you think you know Turkey, think again. Our group tours to this enchanting land, long at the crossroads of civilisations, explore a side far away from the masses visiting the southern coasts or the accessible sites of Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus. Travel with us to Turkey’s remote eastern provinces, a land where Georgian, Persian and Armenian influences are as prominent as anything ‘Turkish’ and will challenge your preconceptions of this complex land. From ancient citadels to early Christian churches as well as the remnants of civilisations that settled here well before the birth of Christ, eastern Turkey is a treasure trove of little visited yet fascinating sites. Its people are however the real highlight – travelling far from the tourist crowds gives you a chance to experience the ‘real Turkey’, devoid of tacky bazaars and crowded monuments, and where you really are welcomed as a guest. This is Turkey at its very best.
