Turkey
Discover the Hidden Treasures of Antiquity
October 12 - October 26, 2025
Tour Introduction:
Turkey serves as the main bridge between different cultures and regions. The territory around the Sea of Marmara played an important role and served as an intermediary point of connection between Europe and Asia. Since the time of colonization by the ancient Greeks, seaways and straits have successfully linked the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas with the waters of the Black Sea by bringing new ideas, valuable knowledge, exotic cultures, and wealthy trade into one region. We will start our journey from Istanbul, which offers visitors fascinating history, cultural heritage, and unique hospitality. We will continue our adventure to Cappadocia, which displays moonscape landscapes and caves crafted by erosion. You will explore the best UNESCO World Heritage Sites of antiquity, like Ephesus, Sagalassos, Hierapolis, Troy, and many more. Join us on this fascinating journey of discovery and adventure to explore stunning landscapes, exquisite architecture, bustling colorful bazaars, and culinary endeavors.
