Why you’ll love this trip

• This trip is the perfect slice of Turkey featuring the historic old city of Istanbul, the crystal waters of the Aegean, the grand old Roman city of Ephesus and the lunar landscape of Cappadocia – what’s not to love?
• If you like history, this trip visits two of the ancient wonders of the world: the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus and the last remaining column of the Temple of Artemis.
• Be gently rocked to sleep on the Mavi Konya, the train from Izmir to Konya.  Sample some amazing sweets compliments of your local Leader, let the scenery slip past and learn how to play backgammon like a local.
• Relax aboard a traditional gullet and take a dip in water so blue you wont believe it.
• Try your hand at making the perfect Manti (Turkish ravioli) and sip fruit wine in one of the best-preserved Greek Ottoman villages in the country
