A fantastic opportunity to sample the wealth and variety of archaeological sites and ruins of Aegean and Mediterranean Turkey

Ancient carvings

Turkey is an archaeological paradise littered with ruins and monuments from countless past civilizations.

Our intriguing journey offers the chance to see some of the highlights of this glorious heritage in just one week, from the Carian cities of Miletus and Didyma to the magnificent Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Our route ensures enough time to really take in the atmosphere, and in some cases magnitude, of these important historical sites. To finish we travel to the UNESCO World Heritage site at Pamukkale to explore the 'cotton castle' formations and the impressive ruins of the spa town of Hierapolis. A swim here amongst the Roman and Greek ruins is the perfect way to conclude this fascinating glimpse into the Turkey's glorious past.
