Stretch those legs in the backstreets of Istanbul in search of the city's hidden charms, then watch the sunset over the Sultanahmet skyline. |
| 2-3 |
Gallipoli Peninsula:
Walk through the Gallipoli Battlefields where thousands of lives were lost. Break from the tragic past and snorkel in the warm waters of Anzac Cove. |
| 4 |
Selcuk:
Visit the historic Roman ruins of Ephesus before returning to Selcuk. A great way to enjoy free time here is by indulging in a scrub at the local hamam. |
| 5 |
Fethiye:
The seaside town of Fethiye provides a chance to visit the deserted Greek village of Kayakoy, head out to spectacular Saklikent Gorge or just chill out by the harbour with a cheesy pide. |

Faralya:
Hike the ancient trails of the Lycian Way, through olive groves and carob gardens and past ancient relics. Visit remote villages and take in stunning views of the Mediterranean along the way. |
| 7-9 |
Kas:
Trek along pine-blanketed mountain tracks with breathtaking views of the Turquoise Coast and arrive in Turkey's chill-out capital, Kabak. Exchange hiking boots for paddles on a kayaking adventure over a sunken Byzantine city. Cycle through the Kas countryside past rustic villages. |
| 10-11 |
Pamukkale:
Resembling a frozen waterfall, the chalky travertines at Pamukkale are a surreal sight. Explore the ancient city of Hierapolis or maybe bathe in thermal springs renowned for their healing properties. |
| 12 |
Istanbul:
On arrival in Istanbul, take a morning ferry ride across the Bosphorus to the European shore and marvel at Istanbul's stunning skyline. |
Abandon the well-worn route to forge a path through unexplored terrain, deep into the historical heart of Turkey. From the minarets of Istanbul experience the real Turkey first-hand. Flex those muscles by cycling through lush landscape, hike forgotten trails and kayak over sunken Lycian and Byzantine relics. Take up the challenge and be amazed by all that this travel adventure has to offer.
