Discover a diverse nation, rich in history and culture
Turkey played a vital role in the development of the Western world; over the centuries, it has provided a geographical and cultural bridge between Asia and Europe, with ruins and monuments attesting to the rise and fall of many great empires. Starting in Istanbul, we travel through the country, visiting ancient cities and Unesco World Heritage sites including Ephesus, Hierapolis and Aspendos, exploring the natural wonders at Pamukkale and Cappadocia and taking time to relax on the Aegean coast. Add to that the memorials of Gallipoli and you can be sure of a fascinating journey that showcases the best of this country. Did you know you can travel by train to this trip? Find out more here
Temperatures in July and August can reach 40C (104F) during the day; on the Anatolian plateau this is normally a dry heat, while Istanbul and the coastal areas tend to be higher in humidity. During increased temperatures, activities are scheduled to be more comfortable in the earlier or later part of the day.
Night-times are cooler. In April and October, it may get a little chilly at night. Rain is rare although the occasional storm can happen. There is the occasional cloudy day, but protracted spells of bad weather are unlikely at this time of year.
December will be a lot cooler. In Istanbul, the temperatures reach a high of 11C (52F), but on the south coast, temperatures often reach 16C (61F). There could even be snow in Cappadocia.
This trip is rated Activity Level 1 (Leisurely).
This trip is the most wide-ranging, varied and exploratory of all our Turkey programmes, combining the coastal region, history and landscapes of the interior, with lots of sightseeing every day. A fair amount of travelling is involved and there are some long days, but these are generally broken with sightseeing en route or on arrival.
Although the tour is not physically demanding, there is a lot of road travel; the total distance covered during the trip is about 2,020mi (3,250km) but, of course, there are plenty of sites en route. Some of the main roads are good and fast, but others are not and there are bumpy stretches leading to some of the archaeological sites away from the main road.
Some of the archaeological sites involve walking on rocky and/or steep hillsides, but if you don’t feel up to it on a hot day you can either not take part or wander around at your own pace.
In July and August, it will be hot during the day on the Anatolian plateau but this is normally a dry heat and easier to cope with than humidity. Istanbul and coastal areas can be more humid.
