Classical Turkey

12 Days / 11 Nights from £2575/ $3348 per person

A grand sweep through Turkey’s stunning Greek, Roman and Byzantine past; the Classical Turkey tour has been designed to showcase the finest and most renowned ancient sites in the land once known as Asia Minor, while also revealing magnificent Mediterranean scenery, lovely off the beaten track Ottoman villages, and the First World War battlefields of Gallipoli. Mixed in with the great names of Ephesus, Aphrodisias, Hierapolis, Pergamom and Aspendos are visits to Troy of Homeric fame, and several stunningly located minor ruins that will almost certainly take your breath away. On a cliff top, overlooking the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Edremit and the Greek island of Lesbos, the site of ancient Assos is a particular Corinthian favourite! Concluding this privately guided and chauffeur driven holiday in Turkey are three nights by the Mediterranean Sea in balmy Antalya.
