About this trip
Fifteen days across Turkey, covering the country's big historical draws before finishing with a stretch of sailing on a Blue Cruise. You move from Istanbul's old city through central Anatolia to the Aegean coast and ancient sites, then swap coach travel for a boat.
The pace is easy and the trip is fully guided throughout, so someone else handles the logistics while you take in Istanbul, the rock landscapes of Cappadocia, the ruins at Ephesus and the Mediterranean coastline.
The Blue Cruise section slows things down further, with days spent moving between bays and islands on the water rather than sightseeing on foot.
