Explore this vast country where Europe and Asia-past and present-meet
to form the "cradle of civilization. Visit remote villages, explore fascinating
archeological sites, and cruise the magnificent Turquoise Coast in a privately
chartered yacht. Our odyssey begins in Istanbul with its many treasures: the
legendary Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the 6th-century Saint Sofia, and the acclaimed
Islamic Art Museum. Then travel south to explore the World War I battlefield
of Gallipoli, the fabled ruins of ancient Troy, the Greco-Roman ruins at Pergamum,
and spectacular Ephesus, the world's best-preserved classical city. In Marmaris
we'll board our traditional private gulets, equipped with individual cabins and
baths, to cruise the magnificent Turkish coastline. Visit tiny fishing villages,
walk among ancient ruins, and swim and snorkel in the Mediterranean's brilliant
blue waters. Conclude with two nights in the seaside resort of Antalya. For those
desiring, a post-trip extension is available to Cappadocia and Ankara.
