From cosmopolitan capital of Istanbul to the ancient remnants of the Ottoman Empire and Greek, Roman and Seljuk civilisations, Turkey is a country full of fascinating contrasts. We discover the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia by walking through the Love Valley and exploring Pasabaglar, with its unique fairy chimneys. The mystical city of Konya was the home of Mevlana, founder of the Whirling Dervishes, and Termessos is an ancient city with impressive remains from the Greco-Roman times. We visit the extraordinary natural wonder of Pamukkale, one of the world’s most breathtaking sights, before heading on to the ruins of Hierapolis - a city founded by the king of Pergamon. Some of the many other highlights of Turkey experienced on this comprehensive journey include the magnificent ancient site of Ephesus, the fabled walled city of Troy and the sobering battlefields of Gallipoli.
