Wonderful Turkey - Escorted Tour Guaranteed Departure

Package Overview

A SUNNY ESCAPE, A WONDER OF ANCIENT RUINS, AND A DYNAMIC COUNTRY STIRRING WITH LIFE —TURKEY IS A MULTILAYERED DELIGHT

Blessed by a Mediterranean climate and a rich history influence by the Ottoman Empire, Turkey appeals to both culture-seekers and beach-buffs. Istanbul is the entry point for most travelers—a vast city straddling Europe and Asia. While Istanbul possesses a wealth of things for tourists to see and do, other regions have their appeal. Splash around the mud baths of Dalyan or scramble around the volcanic rock of Goreme. Divers will want to swim the ancient wrecks around Bodrum. Wherever you go, don’t ever, ever skip coffee and desserts; enjoying flowery Turkish Delight and gooey-flaky baklava is mandatory.
