Central Turkey - Camel Shepherd

Go now! Pisa is leaning, Venice is sinking and Turkey is spinning. A culmination of cultures and great civilisations will have you begging for more as our carefully selected tour leaders and guides take you through this magnificent country during your holidays in Turkey.

Turkey has so much to offer the traveller, during their vacation, with its breathtaking natural beauty, unique historical sites and the famous Turkish hospitality. Muslim or secular? The blade of Islam or the bind of Christianity? You decide as you step foot on the soil that holds intact remains from the Hittites to the Ottomans and more classical Hellenistic sites than Greece!

Nearly every major empire has conquered, occupied and left their trace on these lands. Imagine walking through seemingly untouched pristine countryside, only to stumble across hidden ruins where an ancient civilisation had once flourished and vanished…

More than half of the places referred to in the Bible are also located in modern day Turkey - from Noah's landing on Mt Ararat in the east, to the Aegean coast in the west where the Virgin Mary is believed to have spent her final mortal years and the Seven Churches of the Revelation were built. The Hittites, Urartians, Phrygians and Lydians, just to name a few, were all important civilisations in the Old Testament and have left remnants of their existence in Turkey.

Turkey also boasts more than 300 archaeological sites and numerous world heritage listed regions. Explore civilisation through time, from the world's oldest city Catal Hoyuk, which is just south of Konya, to the renowned Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara. Absorb the giants such as, Troy, Ephesus, Pergamum, Miletus and Afrodisias and step back in time to the Greco-Roman Hellenistic period.
