Turkey's Magical Hideaways

September 6 - 22, 2014
Land and Small Boat
Limited to 14 Travelers
Soft Adventure


Optional Silk Route Pre-trip 

View Itinerary
Explore Turkey and travel across time.  From Turkey’s glittering Turquoise Coast to Istanbul’s legendary Bosporus Strait, Turkey is awash in history: home to 10,000 years of culture and prodigious sultans who created glorious empires from volcanic soil.  Experience the raw material of legend up closefrom the dazzling Blue Mosque of Istanbul to the cave churches of Göreme and the vast Konya Plateau, where Sufi dervishes whirl—and immerse yourself in discovery as we descend into elaborate Cappadocian cave cities and stay overnight with a village  family in the Taurus Mountains.

Your Turkish adventure sails on:  for four days, a gleaming, private gulet-style yacht will serve as home base as we visit Byzantine monasteries and Cleopatra’s Baths. Join us for an intimate taste of this turquoise and alabaster land.
