Capture the spirit of the real Anatolia with us. Your senses will be stimulated by the cultures of this vast land, from the aroma of the flat village bread baking in the stone oven to the meditative rhythms of soft Sufi music from the mysterious Mevlana halls. Be surrounded by the richness of the Ottoman Empire and Byzantine - styled masterpieces in the once - capital city Istanbul.  Take in the panoramic vistas of the Bosphorous where Europe from the West meets Asian shores, and the two are in harmony. Why not haggle in the colourful oriental covered bazaars, once filled by Asian pedlars with their precious spices to sell?  Mellow over a glass of sweet cay and find that special bargain. We will take you to see some Wonders of the Ancient World and transport you back 700 years B.C. Feel privileged to meander along the paved walkways where Roman heroes once marched; photograph the wonderful, ancient Temple of Artemis. We will admire the calcite travertines of one of the wonders of the Natural World - Pamukkale – which, translated, means 'cotton castles'. Later, feel the vastness of the lavascapes in the Cappadocia valley - the most ancient inhabited region - where chimney-like structures were formed by volcanic lava streams so many years ago and where Christian churches still exist in caves.
