Turkey Unmatched

Land of Whirling Dervishes & Ancient Civilizations

 

Bridge the gap between Europe and Asia on this unmatched historical and cultural journey through the ancient land of Turkey. Discover the mystical world of sultans and the incredible religious diversity with roots in the "Cradle of Civilization." Centuries of powerful empires, natural forces and industrious people have built a land of scenic landscapes, colorful traditions and majestic structures.

Discover the Byzantine and Ottoman treasures of Istanbul starting with the legendary Topkapi Palace, with its spectacular display of treasures of the Ottoman Sultans. Watch history come alive as you view the Hippodrome and experience a modern day version of the age-old ritual of the “whirling dervishes.” Then leave Istanbul behind as you drive through the European lands of Turkey. Cross the Dardanelles Strait by ferryboat and visit the Anzac Bay and World War I memorials. Learn about the spiritual history of Turkey – from the Blue Mosque and Haghia Sophia, to St. Paul’s city of Perge. Marvel at the “frozen waterfalls” in the ancient natural spa at Pamukkale.

Visit the ancient coastal city of Ephesus and yet another cultural center of antiquity in Pergamum, home to one of the seven churches of the Bible. End your whirlwind journey through the centuries in Ankara with a visit to the splendid museum of the Anatolian Civilizations also known as the Hittite Museum, with its unique collection of ancient art, the most comprehensive of its kind in the world. From the surrealistic landscape of Cappadocia to the unforgettable city of Troy, you too will whirl like a “dervish” from the treasures of Turkey dancing in your mind on your return home.
