About this trip
Ten days on the road through Turkey, taking in the country's history from ancient ruins to Ottoman mosques. Travel by coach with a guide, covering ground from the Aegean coast to central Anatolia and on to Istanbul.
Expect a mix of ancient sites, religious landmarks and battlefield history, along with time to wander markets and take in the odd surreal landscape along the way.
What you'll do
- Explore the Acropolis of Pergamon
- Visit the Mevlana Museum in Konya
- Pay respects at the Gallipoli Battlefields
- See the landscapes of Cappadocia
- Stand before Istanbul's Blue Mosque
- Wander Istanbul's bazaars
- Coach-based sightseeing trip covering multiple regions, so expect a fair amount of travel time between stops
- Fully guided throughout, suited to families and those who prefer a structured itinerary
Worth it if you book directly with Fez Tours, get a passionate guide like Ege or Oz, and accept long bus days and hidden costs. Think twice if you need seamless logistics, reliable airport transfers, or budget accommodation.
- Two lengthy bus days are gruelling; one reviewer waited 2+ hours for airport pickup, another endured 12-hour return journey with no entertainment.
- Accommodation quality wildly inconsistent: cave hotels described as warm with poor service, one Kuşadası hotel deemed beyond terrible, some rooms needed triple changes.
- Outstanding guides like Ege and Oz deliver knowledgeable, passionate commentary without notes; small group vans foster genuine traveller connections.
- Turkey costs significantly more than expected; one restaurant charged inflated prices. Book directly with Fez Tours, not third-party operators like Expat Tours, for reliable customer service.
