Aguidedwalking tripof Cappadocia and the LycianWay coast
For walkers interested in exploring two of Turkey's most special natural and
historic regions this itinerary will not fail to inspire. Taking in the wonders of
Istanbul, we head into the country's interior to the fascinating Cappodocia
region where a series of day walks will uncover a treasure trove of sights.
These include ancient churches and monasteries from the Byzantine era
and elaborate underground cities. Amongst these relics is a living culture
of traditional villages and river valleys, but the region is best known for
the unique rock formations and chimneys manicured by old civilizations
to carve out houses and churches. The next stage of our journey centres
around the beautiful township of Fethiye, with day walks along various
sections of the Lycian Way. This rugged mountain region offers splendid
views, archaeological sites and quaint villages. In the company of our expert
local guide, these very different regions of Turkey promise a fascinating
window into the country's rich and varied history.

A journey capturing the cultural pulse of Turkey
We combine the classic highlights with forays into some of the country's
more unusual places. In Istanbul we explore the Grand Bazaar, Topkapi
Palace and Blue Mosque, before we journey to the historical cities of
Gallipoli, Troy, Ephesus, Pamukkale and Hierapolis. Then we have the
opportunity to swim in the clear Aegean waters while discovering the
ancient towns of Fethiye, Antalya, Kas and Kekova that characterise this
exquisite coastline. Konya, known for its Whirling Dervishes, is next on
the itinerary before we head to Cappadocia, famous for the underground
cities and extraordinary rock formations scattered throughout the
Goreme Valley, where we conclude this fascinating trip.
