Visit Izmir, the birthplace of the legendary poet Homer and Turkey’s most important port. Traveling along the Taurus Mountains we reach the Mediterranean coast where the waters are an exceptional shade of blue, a feature that gave raise to its moniker of “The Turquoise Coast". A wooden yacht takes us further down the Mediterranean at a leisurely pace, giving us plenty of time to make several stops for refreshing swims.
Experience rural life as we pass through the countryside of Turkey and see the lush wheat fields and orchards. The Cappadocia area holds marvelous lunar landscape where churches have been carved and volcanic dust has been weathered into large cones. We can wander the tunnels and chambers of an entire underground city dug into the Cappadocia in which citizens took shelter during times of strife.
