What travelers are saying

"Lead by one of the most knowledgeable guides I’ve ever experienced in 40 years of travelling, this full on trip takes you to places in Turkey that many will never visit. Tour Leader Zafer’s passion for Greek, Roman and Ottoman history shone through on a tour which combined the best of Turkey’s historical sites and standout places of interest. Highlights galore, from the beautiful Blue Mosque, hundreds of drifting balloons in the Cappadocia early morning skies to the tragedy of seeing first hand relatively recent history in the form of the killing fields of Gallipoli. If you come expecting a relaxing 5*holiday experience, you should book an all-inclusive holiday to Marmaris. But if you want to dive headlong into a vibrant, colourful country that has been at the forefront of ancient and modern history this 14 day exploration maybe for you especially as we encountered so many exciting surprises along the way. Remember though, travelling over 2,500km does mean there are a number of early starts and long hours in a minibus, which can be hard. However, we were lucky in that our group of 8 intrepid travellers got on well and time passed quickly. Finally, a quick mention for the hotels selected by Explore. They were in the main pretty good 3 star centrally located tourist hotels. Most were small, family owned and whilst not bar one highly starred, they acted as good stopover hotels providing the basics of a good bed, warm shower and a breakfast which set you up for the day. All in all, a trip I would recommend especially in May when the Summer sun has not reached its peak."
