At the crossroads of East
and West, Turkey, with its Mediterranean sunshine, exotic culture
and fascinating history beckons us. The landscapes are layered with
remains of ancient civilizations that flourished here. St Paul trod the paths across Anatolia to
reach Ephesus and today one can walk these trails and find early churches hidden in caves and decorated with amazingly vivid
frescoes. On our walks we explore Byzantine castles, ancient Greek and Roman theatres
and colourful Turkish bazaars. Along the Lycian coast pomegranate and orange trees shade
streets of small villages that have been in existence for three thousand
years. Rocky
trails lead us to quiet coves where Crusaders once anchored on their way
to the Holy Land. But Turkey is not just about history. The
scenery is spectacular and the food is marvelous. The cuisine uses
a variety of vegetables and
fruits that flourish in this mild climate.
About Walkers' World walking and sightseeing holidays in Turkey:
Our tour covers three areas - the city of Istanbul, the south-western
Lycian coastal region and the inland region of Cappadocia in central
Anatolia. Because of the the distances in Turkey we take two
flights within the country. Many of our stops are for two or more
nights to avoid constant packing.
