Spires and Spice: The Wonders of Turkey

Share:

Introduction

The turning point of the Silk Road, where East meets West, Turkey is an abundance of natural, cultural, and historical riches, and it's not hard to understand why.  Its coastline is the eastern edge of the Mediterranean, and it has been the seat of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires, all of whom have left an indelible legacy.  Add Istanbul, the essence of exotic, to the mix, and you have one undeniably exhilarating combination. 

We invite you to explore the splendors and treasures of incredible and captivating Turkey with The Evolved Traveler.

Our “Spires and Spices” journey begins in Istanbul, brimming with centuries-old bazaars and markets and home to impressive monuments of the successive empires such as the Blue Mosque and Ayia Sophia. Continue to the otherworldly landscapes of whimsical Cappadocia with its own extraordinary history. Your journey continues to one of the greatest testaments to ancient Turkey's grandeur,  Ephesus, the world’s best-preserved Roman city.  Finally, enjoy three leisurely days in the resort town of Bodrum, including a full-day, private Turkish gület (sailboat) excursion to swim and snorkel in the warm, crystal-clear waters along the Mediterranean Coast.
