LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS TURKEY

BREATHTAKING LANDSCAPES AND A HISTORICAL SIGHTS

A beautiful coastline on three different seas. The meeting point of two continents. Breathtaking landscapes and a wealth or archaeological and historical sights. No wonder our experts suggest staying in two Turkish bases.

In Istanbul you will be standing at the point at which Europe becomes Asia. The touching point for two continents. The very place where the Mamara Sea flows through the strait of the Bosphorus into the Black Sea. The capital city for three mighty empires. At your feet will be the awe-inspiring palaces, forbidding castles, intricate mosques, churches and monuments of Byzantium and Constantinople. History that lives alongside the swirl of a fascinating metropolis with happening restaurants, buzzing traditional markets, picturesque bridges and great nightlife.

And beyond Istanbul lie the fabled cities of Troy – one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, laying bare over 4000 years of history. Plus Ephesus: site of the Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the World) and the Basilica of St John. No less inspiring are some natural wonders. The extraordinary volcanic landscape of Cappadocia, for example, with its vast balancing stones and its intriguing underground city with gates carved into a solid cliff face.

For an enthusiastic, expert insight into Turkey’s diversity, talk to one of our Turkey specialists. Ask them about the ultimate way to explore the stunning coastline – by traditional gulet sailing boat.

WHY CHOOSE US

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.
