Active Turkey! [multi-activity]:
8 days of action from a hotel base in the charming little port town of Kas, with excellent access to some of Turkey's best coastlines and finest mountain scenery. Attractive whitewashed houses cluster around the town square, overlooking a lovely bay. By boat, canoe, mountain bike, sea-kayak and on foot we uncover the rich history of ancient Lycia, whose ruined settlements lie all around, often in the most dramatic settings.

Legends of Lycia [families]:
An exciting and flexible activity-based 8 days, with relatively little travelling involved. Most activities are included but others (eg. scuba diving) are left optional.
We stay in Kas, a small harbour town with an easy-going charm and enjoy Turkey's best coastline and finest mountain scenery while we canoe the Xanthos River to the vast golden sands and dunes of Patara beach.

The Lycian Way [hiking]:
8 days walking through history on the Lycian Way, Turkey's first and only long distance walking route. Stretching from Fethiye to Antalya, the route traverses the ancient province of Lycia. We spend a peaceful time amongst the hills and mountains of this beautiful land, travelling on foot between little-known ancient ruins and time-forgotten villages.

Aegean Sites and Blue Cruise:
A 15 days tour, comprising a week exploring some of Turkey's best Greco-Roman sites, many off the beaten track, some time to unwind on the coast, followed by a relaxing week to enjoy the Lycian coastline and its legendary sites.
Each gulet [small cruise boat] has a sundeck and fully furnished double or twin cabins - with en-suite WC/shower. There is a salon-bar supplied with cold drinks and local wines as well as a shaded afterdeck. Local specialities are prepared aboard by the gulet's own cook. Your tour leader travels with you, arranging walks or on-shore excursions.

Cappadocia Freewheel [biking]:
8 days of biking on quiet backroads and farm tracks to navigate the magical region of Cappadocia in central Turkey, where bizarrely shaped rock forms and exotically contoured cliffs feast the eye while underground a fascinating network of tunnels, rock-cut churches, caves and even whole cities are waiting to be explored.

Imagine basking in the Mediterranean sun on a boat surrounded by crystal clear water, walking the ruined marble streets of Ephesus, once capital of the Roman Empire and exploring the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia. This is the land where the Trojan War was fought and Cleopatra got married. The Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans forged their empires here, but the most lasting impression will be of the people, with their warm smiles and a genuine eagerness to make you feel at home.
