A crossroads between East and West
Turkey unfolds its contrasting landscapes between the Aegean Sea and the Anatolian plateau, where the minarets of Istanbul are reflected in the Bosphorus at sunset. This land of passage preserves the traces of the Ottoman Empire in its century-old hammams, while the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia emerge from a lunar setting shaped by erosion. The scent of apple tea floats through the bazaars of Izmir, and the terraces of Pamukkale sparkle under a generous Mediterranean sun.
A tailor-made journey reveals this authentic Anatolia, from the fishing villages of the Lycian coast to the ceramic workshops of Kütahya, where each encounter becomes an invitation to share a meal and discover the Turkish art of living.
What must you see in Turkey?
Istanbul fascinates with its contrasts between Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, its Sultanahmet alleyways and panoramic views of the Bosphorus. Cappadocia offers its sculpted landscapes and hot air balloon flights at sunrise. Pamukkale reveals its natural limestone pools and the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, while the turquoise coast seduces with its crystal-clear waters and charming villages like Kaş and Kalkan.
What type of trip should you choose?
A stay of 10 to 15 days allows you to combine historical heritage and beach relaxation, with cultural stops in Istanbul and Cappadocia, complemented by the Mediterranean coast. Couples appreciate the romantic atmosphere of cave hotels, while families prefer the beach resorts of Antalya. A budget of €2,200 per person covers a comfortable trip combining UNESCO-listed sites and authentic local experiences.
