Turkey
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Check your Midnight Express stereotypes at the door - this is a rapidly modernizing country with one foot in Europe and one in the Middle East. It's not all oriental splendor, mystery, intrigue and whirling dervishes but it is a spicy maelstrom of history knocking up against a fast-paced present.
The Turkish people have an unrivalled reputation for hospitality, the cuisine is to die for, the coastline is a dream, and many Turkish cities are dotted with spectacular mosques and castles. And while costs are rising, Turkey remains one of the Mediterranean's bargain-basement destinations.

Suggested Itineraries: Turkey
The Turkish landmass has been the stage upon which countless empires and kingdoms have flourished and declined, and its history lingers in famous ruins (Troy is only the beginning), mosques lavish with ornament, and that glittering distillation of Ottoman glory, the half-European, half-Asian Istanbul.
Mt Ararat has figured in legends since time began, notably as a possible resting place for Noah's Ark. Climbing the mountain has its setbacks, namely the sheer physical effort required, the costs and the generally difficulty in getting there, but the views are worth it.
