About this trip
Five days across western Turkey covering Istanbul's big historic sights, the World War One battlefields of Gallipoli, the site of ancient Troy, and the ruins of Pergamum, with a local guide leading the way in a small group.
The pace moves from Istanbul's mosques, palaces and bazaars to open battlefield ground at Gallipoli, then on to layered ancient history at Troy and Pergamum, finishing near the House of Holy Mary. It suits travellers who want a broad sweep of Turkey's history without organising the logistics themselves.
