More about Turkey Discover Turkey
- Drink a real Turkish coffee. This isn't just a heart-starter in the morning, it's a ritual that should be savoured and appreciated in a local cafe.
- Try a Turkish bath, or hammam. You'll be steamed, scrubbed and pounded in the quest for wellness, but it will be worth it and it's one of those things you need to do at least once in your life!

Is this tour right for you?
This moderately active program covers a good amount of ground each day. Expect from three to four hours walking on some touring days. The pace is moderate, however a majority is over uneven surfaces, stairs, steps and significant slopes. Bus rides to Ankara and Istanbul are approximately seven to eight hours, which may require early wake-ups. Those who are claustrophobic or have pre-existing knee or back conditions may want to avoid visiting the Underground Cities in Cappadocia. Passageways are narrow and can require crouching to navigate. The tour departs during the off season, please contact us if you wish to travel during the main tourist seasons.
