Starting from Bodrum on the Aegean coast, the tour begins with a full‑day exploration of the ancient city of Ephesus, where the Temple of Artemis, the marble façade of the Celsus Library and the grand Roman theatre stand as testaments to a bygone era. After a leisurely lunch, guests visit a traditional carpet‑weaving centre, then wander the charming stone houses of Sirince, famous for its fruit wines, before stopping at a renowned leather workshop for a glimpse of Turkey’s centuries‑old craftsmanship. The day ends with dinner and an overnight stay in Kuşadası.
The second day takes travelers north to the historic hill of Pergamon. At the Bergama Museum, priceless relics illuminate the city’s Hellenistic glory, while a brief visit to a local jewellery workshop showcases the region’s skill in gold and silver. Following lunch, the legendary ruins of Troy are explored, where the walls that inspired Homer’s epic still dominate the landscape. Evening brings a comfortable night in Çanakkale.
Day three is devoted to the solemn Gallipoli Peninsula. After a midday meal, the itinerary visits Arıburnu Cemetery, Anzac Cove, Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair and the Beach Cemetery, with the Gabatepe Museum providing context to the World War I campaign. A scenic drive then delivers guests to Istanbul, where the next day’s city tour includes the ancient Hippodrome, the 17th‑century Blue Mosque, the 6th‑century Hagia Sophia—now a mosque—and a vibrant stroll through shop for spices, sweets and handmade souvenirs. The journey concludes with a relaxed transfer to the airport.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
