Overview

Archaeological sites are abundant in Anatolia, which can make planning a trip to the region a daunting endeavour. Knowing which sites are well preserved and worth visiting can involve significant research, and often some lucky guesswork. Avoid that stress with this 14-day comprehensive tour of Ancient Turkey. This tour includes nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which are some of the most well-preserved and significant archeological sites in the world. The tour is small-group, offering a more intimate experience with the guide and the other travelers than larger group tours on the market. The tour also includes all airport transfers and domestic flights, so you can focus on historical discovery - and not on the logistics of your trip.
  • A maximum of twelve guests means plenty of face time with your guide
  • Don't feel rushed: this tour gives you plenty of time at each major site
  • Accomodation, internal flights, and many meals are included
  • Fully appreciate the historical and cultural context with an English-speaking guide
