Sector 1 Istanbul to Gallipoli
An early start today as we head west along the coast of the Sea of Marmara. This afternoon, you can honour the ANZAC’s on an optional tour of the Gallipoli battlefields, the site of the ill-fated World War I campaign or spend the afternoon exploring Canakkale.

Early afternoon we drive to the picturesque lakeside town of Koycegiz, known for the nearby turtle beach and mud baths. On the way we stop at Milas, which is the drop off point for those heading to the beach resort of Bodrum, and then Marmaris, an access point to the Greek Isle of Rhodes.

Sector 4 Koycegiz to Fethiye/Oludeniz via Saklikent Gorge
Experience one of Turkey's highlights today as we trek up Saklikent Gorge, Turkey's longest and deepest canyon. Saklikent (hidden valley) is awesome, it's literally a mountain split down the middle by an earthquake. On the way we get to learn a little about famous Turkish carpets and village life, then enjoy lunch by the river. Tonight, you choose to stay in either the harbour town of Fethiye or the beachside resort of Oludeniz, famous for paragliding.

*If you are sailing on a Gulet, then consider the Gulet departure dates when planning your trip and remember: you may need to spend extra days in Fethiye to coincide with your Gulet departure date or arrival date.

Sector 5 Fethiye/Oludeniz to Olympos via Kas
We drive along the Mediterranean coast today stopping for a swim in the turquoise waters of Kaputas Beach, on the way to Kas, traditionally a small Turkish fishing village. We have a chance to look around the town before driving east to our overnight stop at the ancient city of Olympos, also home to the world famous tree houses. This evening, you can visit the natural wonder of the eternal flames of Chimaera.

Sector 6 Olympos to Egirdir via Lake Golbasi
This afternoon we drive to resort town of Antalya famous for ancient sites and waterfalls and then head inland towards Lake Egirdir, stopping for a short time to visit the natural beauty of Lake Golbasi.

Sector 7 Egirdir to Cappadocia via Sultanhani Caravanserai and Obruk
Today, we follow an ancient silk trade route across the Anatolian Plain towards the amazing lunar landscapes of the Cappadocia region, where you can sleep, eat and drink in man-made caves and visit underground cities On the way you will visit Sultanhani Caravanserai and Obruk just as the ancient traders did. We recommend that tonight you don't miss the optional Turkish Folklore evening, which includes all the food, beer, wine and raki you can handle!

Sector 8 Cappadocia to Istanbul via Ankara (overnight bus)
We take an overnight bus tonight as we head back to Istanbul, via Ankara.
