Greece and Turkey’s great history will offer you a destination like no other. This tour will take you down the stunning west coast of Turkey, to traditional Greek islands and the spectacular mainland of Greece and its ancient sites.
A city of contrasts and colourful views
Our tour follows a unique itinerary as we start in Turkey’s capital Istanbul. This is a fascinating city as the old world architecture seems to blend in harmony with the newer more modern parts of the city. Our sightseeing here includes the magnificent Topkapi Palace, the unique Blue Mosque, Chora Church, the incredible Basilica of St Sophia and the exotic spice bazaar.
Discover ancient cities
From Istanbul we continue touring Turkey going to Gallipoli, where we pay homage to the Anzac legend before continuing on to the ancient cities of Pergamum and Ephesus. Pergamum, was once home to Alexander the Great and is famous for the invention of parchment paper. Ephesus is the largest ancient city ever uncovered, once home to more than 300,000 people it's a great place to get a feel for what life was like in the time of the Romans.
