Turkey: Crossroads of Civilisation

Departing 08-May-2010 to 27-May-2010

At the crossroads of many civilisations since the dawn of time, Turkey is the site of Homer's Troy and other great cities of the classic periods of Ionian Greece, Roman and Byzantine periods. You will see castles built by the Crusaders, caravanserais from Seljuk and Ottoman times and the poignant battlerfields of Gallipoli.

During our discovery of Turkey, there will be time to talk to many Turkish people, to visit their villages and homes, to enjoy their music and dance, to see at first-hand the workmanship of their skilled artists, and to discover a little of the rich cultural life of this fabulous country.

There are no early morning starts to the day, or quick overnight stops. We stay at comfortable hotels in the centre of town, usually for two or three nights, each personally selected as representing some aspect of Turkish life. Meals are excellent, there are no hidden options and guides have been specially selected. All entry fees and tipping for hotels and restaurants (for the group) are included, dress is casual and there are always special suprises along the way.

Underground and underwater cities, basilicas and mosques, sophisticated cities as well as simple but charming villages, vie with each other to attract the attention of the traveller who will be fascinated by magnificent works of art, gold, leather and silk articles. The Turkish journey with a small group, Crossroads of Civilisation will become one of your most memorable and treasured travel experiences.
