Where To Go In Turkey
Spanning both Asia and Europe, Turkey offers a kaleidoscope of historical sites, beautiful beaches and other places to explore. Relax at the sun-drenched resorts in Turkey's southern shores, lose yourself in the relics of Istanbul or hunt for fresco-adorned caves in Cappadocia. Part of Turkey’s allure is the sheer diversity of what it offers.
Istanbul
A diverse and ancient city, the streets of Istanbul are filled with relics from its long history. From the Blue Mosque to the Grand Bazaar, there are countless places to explore.
Antalya
Located on the Gulf of Antalya, this city blends old-world beauty with modern style. Wander through the atmospheric Kaleiçi district, explore the Roman harbour or relax while watching the sun set.
Cappadocia
Cappadocia’s famous ‘fairy chimneys’ were created by both man and nature. Explore a honeycombed network of caves where persecuted Christians once hid during the Roman period.
Bodrum
This relaxing port city makes for a sublime alternative to the overdeveloped resort towns found in tropical destinations. Unwind along the Aegean Sea in luxury and comfort.
Kusadasi
Filled with fantastic restaurants and hotels, Kuşadası makes an ideal stopping point when exploring the ruins of Ephesus. The awe-evoking sea views are an added bonus.
Canakkale
Çanakkale makes the perfect launching point for exploring Gallipoli's battlefields, where soldiers fought for control of the Dardanelles (Hellespont) strait in World War One.
Frequently Asked Questions
+Do you need a visa to travel to Turkey?
Yes, you will need to get a visa when visiting Turkey. The government encourages travellers to get their visas online at https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ However, cruise ship passengers are permitted to come ashore without a visa for day visits.
+Is Turkey safe?
It’s safe to travel to most of Turkey, however, there are a few places you may want to avoid. For example, the city of Diyarbakir in southeastern Turkey, which is considered the unofficial capital of Northern Kurdistan, has been deemed unsafe by many Western governments. Also, you should stay at least 10 kilometres away from the Syria-Turkey border.
+When is the best time to visit Turkey?
Generally, Turkey’s summers are hot and its winters are cold. So the best time to visit the Aegean & Mediterranean coasts and Cappadocia is from May to September. Istanbul, however, is a year-round destination city. If you plan to do a lot of hiking, April to June typically provide the best outdoor weather.

TOURS LED:
Over a span of almost 30 years, I have lead tours virtually all over the globe.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Some of my favourite tours just come into being suddenly as a result of a request; someone will ask me to put together an itinerary that will include the highlights of several countries and the next thing you know we have, for example, a tour to Uruguay, Paraguay & Bolivia, or Lesotho, Namibia & Botswana. Sometimes I will be asked to arrange a detailed itinerary to just one region within a country - like a close up look at Sicily or Crete or the Basque Country or Newfoundland. Without the keen curiosity that so many of you travellers have, none of these "spontaneous" tours would come into being. But they do.
