DESTINATION COMBINATIONS

Why not add extra experiences to your holiday in Turkey by distributing your time between different areas…land and sea? You can experience a week of history and culture in the old capital Istanbul…then relax on a beach…or even better sail away on a private cruise. Options we suggest:

Istanbul 3, 4 to7 days...time in Istanbul can always be exploited to the full…depending on how long you wish to stay in a metropolis. Having said this the Sultanahmet centre where you stay has minimal traffic in comparison to the rest of Istanbul. It is possible to visit the whole of old Stamboul starting like a Sultan from the Palace of Topkapi… but without an entourage and on foot….. noting all the churches now preserved as mosques, eating a fresh fish sandwich at Kumkapi and in the afternoon strolling up to the famous closed market where one of the obliging shop-owners will regale you with Turkish tea.

Cappadocia 3, 4 to7 days…it is possible to see most of Cappadocia within 3 days but impossible to savour it in that time where round the next corner is a hidden church, an unforgettable village, a photogenic rock formation …walk enchanted valleys, balloon into the dawn, bicycle along soft tuf paths or embibe sufism watching the whirling dervishes at Sarihan.

The Lycian Coast 3, 4 to7 days...relax by the turquoise seas... Choose between a comfortable three star hotel right just off the Oludeniz beach or a larger holiday resort. If you feel like something quite off the tourist trail you can stay at Blacktree in a village 1000 metres above sea level.

On board 3, 4 to7 days…along the turquoise coast in our 18 metre ketch with sails unfurled or motoring to the next deserted cove…many starred nights and sun splattered days.
