Cappadocia, the Golden Horn, Hagia Sophia, the Lycian coast, Topkapi, the Bosphorus... These are names that resonate with sensuality, each one a promise with blurred edges, softened by golden morning light, reflections on the sea and the steam of freshly poured tea. Travelling in Turkey is an awakening of the senses, which are slightly disoriented. East or West? Restraint or excess? And the mind will long remember the anticipation and excitement at the entrance to the Blue Mosque, the wonder before ancient Ephesus, and the surprise at the alpine landscapes of Anatolia.

Travel to Turkey by region

Aegean Coast

At the westernmost tip of Turkey lies the Aegean coast, which combines an extraordinary archaeological and historical heritage with some of the liveliest seaside resorts in the Mediterranean. A stay on Turkey’s Aegean coast will allow you, in a single day, to visit the incredible ancient site of Ephesus, stroll through the Ottoman streets of Izmir, Turkey’s third largest city, swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, and spend the night in one of the upmarket nightclubs of Bodrum or Içmeler. A journey along Turkey’s Aegean coast will also be a delight for the taste buds!

Cappadocia & Anatolia

Anatolia, which alone covers a vast part of Turkish territory, is best known to travellers for the small region of Cappadocia. To walk among or fly over in a hot air balloon the astonishing fairy chimneys shaped by erosion: nothing compares to a journey in Cappadocia and Anatolia. You will also discover troglodyte villages and small Byzantine churches nestled in the heart of these steep valleys, carved into the pale rock. A trip to Cappadocia and Anatolia will also allow you to admire sites that are rarely visited by tourists, such as the capital Ankara, which preserves the memory of Ataturk, or the astonishing statues of Mount Nemrut.

Istanbul

Travelling to Istanbul means venturing where East meets West, grown familiar with one another, and intermingled for centuries. Straddling the Bosphorus Strait, the Sublime Porte presents an eclectic face, made up of unapologetic modernity, winding alleyways, proud neighbourhoods, iconic religious attractions emblematic of world history, and a mix of bazaars and shops, from the most modest to the most luxurious. Known in turn as Byzantium under the Greeks, Constantinople during the great era of the Eastern Roman Empire, and then Istanbul with the advent of Atatürk and modern Turkey, the “city of cities” is constantly reinventing itself, while embracing a unique and prestigious past.
