About this trip
Eight days through Turkey built for solo travellers who want company without losing the freedom of going it alone. You start in Istanbul, where a group dinner and a wander through the city's back lanes gets everyone talking before the sightseeing begins.
From there it's a mix of icons and history you can really sink into — Istanbul's great mosques and bazaars, then onward to Cappadocia's cave landscapes and underground cities, finishing among the ruins of Ephesus in Selçuk.
It's a fully guided trip at a moderate pace, so you're seeing a lot of ground with the logistics handled, in the company of other solo travellers doing the same thing.
