Turkey Adventure

Arrive into Istanbul and make your way to your starting accommodation. Meet your guide and group this evening and head out to explore Istanbul's lively nightlife.

Kick off today with a walking tour of the city. See iconic city highlights such as Topkapi Palace, the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque as well as the bazaars. Explore the city at your own pace this afternoon.

Our next destination is a fairytale come to life, and these next few days are all about choosing your own adventure. We've included visits to the Mausoleum of Atatürk, the stunning Salt Lake and the otherworldly Göreme Open Air Museum. You can also choose to get involved in some extra activities, from a hot air balloon ride, a local trekking excursion, to a traditional dinner.

Our adventure continues to Antalya today, nestled on the sun-drenched Turkish Riviera. As part of the journey, we'll stop at a town called Konya where you can explore the ancient mosques and gardens. Enjoy some time to refresh upon arrival in Antalya, before joining the group for a walk along the ocean and choosing to grab some dinner.

We'll start the day exploring the ancient city of Thermessos, nestled into the mountaintops and home to some of the most impressive ruins in Turkey. Back in Antalya, this afternoon is completely free for you to chill on the beach and check out the local area. Then get ready for a big night out!

Continue along the coast to Kekova today, with a boat cruise around the Mediterranean Sea planned for this afternoon. Soak in the sunshine and bright turquoise views, with a delicious dinner included on board. Now this is the good life!

Head to the pretty coastal town of Fethiye. Chill on the beach, learn about the area at Fethiye Museum and watch the yachts come and go. Adrenaline junkies might like to try canyoneering in the Saklikent Gorge, or the famous hike between Kayakoy and Oludeniz.

Head to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pamukkale. Visit the famous white and turquoise travertine terraces and the ancient site of Hierapolis, where you can bathe in the warm, mineral-rich water.

Spend two days in Selcuk town, exploring the area and its antiquities. Don't miss the trip to Ephesus, Europe's most complete classical city. You can also walk to the St John Basilica, the mosque of Isa Bey, take a cooking class and try local wine in the village of Sirince.

Travel to the small atmospheric city of Canakkale. Visit to the legendary city of Troy. Don't forget to take a selfie with a Trojan horse! Enjoy the buzzing nightlife on the waterfront this evening.

Join an optional excursion to the Gallipoli Battlefields this morning before continuing on to Istanbul. Round your adventure off with some more sightseeing or last minute souvenir shopping. Then enjoy one last night out with your travel buddies.
