Destinations and Journeys
Turkey offers many enchanting destinations to both entertain and relax you.
The sites listed here are among some of the most popular. Itineraries are
flexible and can be set up when you make your reservation.
Visiting Turkey is an experience of a lifetime. It is a country renowned for
its natural beauty, historical culture and warm hospitality. One of the largest
cities in Turkey is Istanbul, which has long been the "bridge" between the
continents of Asia and Europe and is filled with amazing sites of interest.
Visit one of many opulent palaces, beautifully preserved and easily accessible.
The Grand Bazaar has been the shopping centre of Istanbul for centuries and
continues to be an exciting experience for locals and visitors alike. Historical
buildings of the ancient world are a significant part of Istanbul's life and
spirit. Among these is the magnificent Hagia Sophia (The Church of Holy Wisdom),
which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
From the hustle and bustle of urban Istanbul, one can make a short journey to
Ankara, the national capital, located in the middle of the country. From there
excursions can be made to charming rural regions such as Cappadocia, where
volcanic rock formations produce a landscape that looks like it came from a
fairy tale. Pillars of stone have been carved into cave dwellings, ancient
churches and houses that are still inhabited by the locals. Stay in one of the
region's famous cave-hotels and experience luxury in a traditional setting - a
cool respite from the warm sun with all the modern conveniences.
The coastal destinations of Turkey afford the traveller an opportunity to
experience one of life's most relaxing modes of travel, chartered sailing.
Imagine gliding through crystal clear, blue-green waters while you enjoy the
relaxing warmth of the sun. Secluded coves and inlets offer many opportunities
to take a plunge into the inviting waters. Swim or hike among the ruins of
ancient cities. Each port town offers a different experience for
treasure-seeking shoppers.
The Greek Islands of Rhodes and Simi are but a short sail away where you can
experience yet another culture with a rich history centred on these pristine
waters.
Enjoy the rich beauty of Turkey. It will be a vacation that you will not soon
forget. |
