Culture and customs.

Turkey has a strong national identity and both its location and the legacy of the Ottoman Empire have contributed to a cultural mix of influences from  Europe ,  Asia  and the  Middle East . Cultural practices vary significantly depending on which region of Turkey you are travelling in. It's important to remember that while most Turkish cities are modern metropolises, Turks can still be quite traditional.

Travelers will find Turkish people to be polite and quite formal in their greetings, kind and hospitable as hosts and friendly as new acquaintances. While bars and nightclubs are common in big cities like Istanbul, outside of these environments it’s a good idea to take your cues from the locals and behave in a subdued manner. This doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, but raucous behavior should be contained to the appropriate venues and kept off the street.

While Turkey is nominally secular, the vast majority of the population identifies as Muslim and Islamic holidays like Ramazan (Ramadan) and Eid are widely observed and recognized as public holidays.

How to be a respectful traveler in Turkey

• Clean your plate If you’re eating with locals (particularly as a guest in their home), you’ll make them very happy if you eat multiple servings and finish everything on your plate. Plan ahead and arrive on an empty stomach for extra points.
• Know when to haggle Remember the first rule of bartering is to decide how much you’re willing to spend beforehand and use that as your guide. In regular shops – as opposed to markets – don’t attempt to haggle over prices.
• Respect the elderly Small gestures like letting elderly folks go ahead of you through doors, offering them your seat on public transport and generally being considerate and respectful of older people will be greatly appreciated.
• Keep criticism private It’s a good rule of thumb not to criticize the culture, government or politics of Turkey. While not all Turks are strict nationalists, you could cause a lot of trouble and offense. You should especially avoid discussing topics related to the Kurdish or Armenian people. When in doubt, follow the conversational lead of the locals. If you’re traveling with Intrepid, ask your leader for guidance. If you’re after a little insight into the geopolitical complexities of Turkey, check out the 'further reading' list below for some perspectives from Turkish authors.

History and government

Ancient history.

There is evidence of hominin habitation in the region known as Anatolia, or Asian Turkey, that dates as far back as 500,000 years and ample evidence of numerous Neolithic settlements popping up between 8000 and 10,000 years ago. 

Notable civilizations who occupied the prehistoric Anatolian region were the Hattians (circa 2500 BC to 2000 BC), the Hittites (circa 1700 BC to 1200 BC) and the Assyrians. From around 2000 BC, Greeks began settling in north-western Anatolia and the southern coasts, establishing individual city-states.

Pre-modern history

The majority of Anatolia was conquered by Alexander the Great in 334 BC. After his death, a succession of various Greek-Macedonian rulers controlled the area until 133 BC when the region was given to the Roman Republic.

Roman control had little impact on the dominant classical Greek culture, which continued to thrive in Anatolia until the region’s absorption into the Byzantine Empire.

Between the sixth and 11th centuries a massive wave of what is known as the ‘Turkic migration’ occurred, and millions traveled across Central Asia into Europe and the Middle East . Among this migratory wave were various Turkic tribes who brought the Islamic religion and Turkic languages that dominate modern Turkey.

The Byzantine Empire sustained a number of invasions and limped forward before finally collapsing in the 14th century, by which point much of Anatolia was already controlled by tribal micro-kingdoms. One of these Turkic tribal groups, the Ottomans, emerged as the dominant regional power during the 15th century and enjoyed a few hundred years of expansion and growth until territorial losses forced its eventual decline in the 19th century.

20th century

The final dissolution of the Ottoman Empire after defeat at the hands of the Allies in WWI was followed by a brief period of Allied occupation before the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk became the republic’s first president and introduced radical reforms to modernize Turkey and imbue it with a unique identity that was separate from that of the former empire. His ideas continue to be influential in contemporary politics today.

In the decades since the death of Ataturk in 1938, Turkey has seen a number of swings between democratic and autocratic governance, interrupted by brief periods of military governance and occasional political chaos.

Turkey today is a presidential republic where the ruling political parties have historically been nationalist and somewhat economically liberal, with a varying amount of Islamic influence. 

Far-left political activist groups and minority rebel groups have waxed and waned in terms of public and political influence. The most notable is the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a militant political group originally formed with the intention of creating a Kurdish separatist state. The arrest of PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan in 1999 was a crushing blow to the once-powerful group, though they continue to operate with the stated aim of ensuring the rights and autonomy of the Kurdish people in Turkey and beyond.   

More recently, Turkey has experienced relative prosperity and political stability, though the economy – based on mineral mining, agriculture, tourism and construction – continues to fluctuate between growth and stasis.

Eating and drinking

Home to some of the tastiest produce you can get your hands on, traditional cooking methods and influence from Asia, Europe and the Middle East, Turkey’s food is surprising, delicious and delightful (pun definitely intended).

Plant-based options

Many Turkish favorites are already non-meat. Gozleme, simit and cig kofte are all vegetarian and easy to find in markets, street corner food stands and restaurants. Vegans will have a trickier time finding pre-made dishes that contain no animal products. However, Turkey has an abundance of markets selling fresh produce, bread and extras like hummus and fava bean dip. With a little planning, vegans will be able to assemble meze-style lunches when pre-made options aren’t available.

In dishes like soups and stews it’s a good idea to watch out for beef stock – called et suyu – as it is used frequently even in ‘vegetarian’ dishes.

Must-try Turkish dishes and beverages

• Gozleme This spinach and cheese pastry is a tasty budget-friendly bite that will satisfy everyone (especially vegetarians).
• Lokum Love it or hate it, this divisive treat (known internationally as Turkish delight) can be found in shops, bazaars and street stalls nearly everywhere in Turkey. Made from rosewater, lemon, sugar, cornflour and water, it's relatively easy to make… and even easier to eat.
• Simit As far as quick and easy snacks go it’s hard to pass up simit, a bread similar to a sesame-encrusted bagel. Carts selling simit can be found at bus and train stations, main streets and other busy thoroughfares in most cities.
• Cig kofte Made with bulgur, onion, tomato paste and spices, this south-eastern specialty is essentially a big ol’ vegetarian ‘meatball’. The traditional kind (made with raw meat) is now banned, so you can eat without fear of food poisoning.
• Fish sandwiches Particularly if you’re spending time in the Bosphorus, a fish sandwich (or balik ekmek) is a must-try local dish. Made with white fish, onion and salad, it’s a simple classic that hits the spot.
• Manti Though the ingredients that fill these handmade dumplings vary, the best kind are filled with lamb and served with yogurt and butter. It’s hard to move after polishing off a plate, but so worth it.
• Turkish coffee Turkish coffee is known around the world for its unique brewing method. It's made with arabica beans which are ground into a fine powder and boiled with cardamom and water in a cevze – a pretty copper or brass pot with a long, thin handle.

Geography and environment

A fairly mountainous country sharing borders with Bulgaria , Greece , Syria, Iraq, Iran , Armenia , Georgia and Azerbaijan , Turkey also has wide stretches of coastline along the Aegean, Mediterranean and Black Seas.

Blessed with large tracts of fertile soil, Turkey is one of the world's biggest agricultural producers, and visitors can expect to see many farms, orchards, plantations and areas of permanent crops occupying certain regions.

Due to its location, Turkey is home to a wide variety of landscapes, from the rocky, forested coastline of the Black Sea region to the fertile plateaus of the Marmara, the white sand beaches of the Aegean and the limestone formations of the Mediterranean. Adding further environmental diversity, the Anatolia highlands (considered the heartland of the country) feature rugged snow-capped peaks and crystalline lakes.

With one of the biggest bazaars in the world, flea markets aplenty and a cutting-edge contemporary fashion scene in the bigger cities, shopping in Turkey is more diverse than you might think.

It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country, particularly perishable items. Australia and New Zealand, for example, generally have strict quarantine laws.

A note on ceramics

While beautifully decorated tiles and ceramics overflow from Turkey’s market stalls, you should keep in mind that their point of origin can be hard to decipher. In other words, watch out for fakes. The real deal tends to be pretty expensive (but worth it, if you ask us). Of course, if you’re just after something pretty to remind you of your travels, don’t feel too bad about reaching for the inexpensive option.

Things to buy in Turkey

• Handwoven carpets Turkish carpets are a worldwide phenomenon and represent centuries of artistic tradition woven into a beautiful work of art. Go in with an idea of how much you’re willing to pay and don’t be afraid to bargain a little. Just keep in mind that quality craftsmanship deserves to be rewarded with a fair price. A lot of vendors and stores will give you the carpet in a bag suitable to transport as luggage, or you might consider shipping it back home.
• Nazar boncuk (evil eye talisman) Want to bring home a little piece of Turkey and ward off evil spirits and intentions at the same time? An evil eye talisman is a perfect thing. You’ll see these little blue ‘eyes’ in every shop and the majority of Turks carry one with them wherever they go.
• Jewelry Turkey's artisan-made gold and silver earrings, rings and bracelets are good buys. Bazaars, boutiques, museum gift shops and silversmiths offer a wide range of designs from modern to Ottoman-inspired.
• Brass and copper You can find an assortment of brass and copper decorative objects for the home in the bazaars of Turkey. Serving platters, pitchers, trays, pots and urns will add some souvenir flair to your kitchen.

Festivals and events

If you want an adventure with a point of difference, consider planning your travels to coincide with these popular events.

The 30-day Islamic holy month of Ramadan (Ramadan) is widely observed in Turkey. The exact dates change every year, so it’s important to check when Ramazan will take place in the year you plan to travel. As a general rule, five consecutive public holidays are observed at the beginning of the month and a few at the end.

The level of celebration varies considerably depending on what part of Turkey you are in. The east has a larger Muslim population and, therefore, a more devoutly observed Ramazan, whereas the southern and western coasts will be less affected.

Whether or not you want to travel during Ramazan (Ramadan) will depend on what kind of adventure you’re after. If you love immersing yourself in local culture and religious practices (and don’t mind a little inconvenience), you might just find travelling during this holy month a fascinating and enriching experience. While the days are dedicated to fasting and contemplation, the evenings are full of colorful celebration and, of course, feasting! Plus, there are fewer tourists around to compete with.

Anniversary of the Anzac campaign

Thousands of people head to Gallipoli every year to pay their respects to fallen Australian , New Zealand and Turkish soldiers who died during the bloody Gallipoli campaign of WWI. The moving dawn ceremony is an iconic event that grows in popularity each year, so if you're hoping to head to Gallipoli in April for Anzac Day, plan ahead.

Efes Pilsen One Love Festival

This annual summer music festival held in Istanbul presents two days of rock, pop, folk and electronic entertainment for masses of locals and visitors keen on soaking up some tunes and summer love.

Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Championships

Want to see thousands of oiled-up men wrestle and grapple with each other? Then this is the festival for you! This wrestling championship is held over several days, usually in late June, when Turkey's national sport is celebrated with gusto and fanfare. Apart from the one-on-one wrestling bouts, there are Romani bands, traditional food and belly dancers providing the perfect sideshow attractions.

Cappadox Festival

Set in the otherworldly landscape of Cappadocia, this eco-friendly music festival features artists and musicians performing on solar-powered stages and inside the ancient caves that the region is famous for. Held around June, the festival was originally an annual event but has moved to a biennial timetable.

Turkey travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Do you need a visa to travel to Turkey?

You may need a visa to enter Turkey depending on where you’re from. Foreign nationals from several countries will need an e-visa that allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, including:

• South Africa

Travelers from many countries – including  New Zealand , the  United Kingdom , Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,  Japan , Norway, Sweden and  Switzerland  – don’t require a visa for stays of less than three months if the trip is for tourism or business purposes.

When is the best time to visit Turkey?

The best time to visit Turkey is typically during the shoulder seasons of March to May or September to October when the temperatures are still warm and there aren't yet large summer crowds.

For the best beach weather, the hottest time of year is June and July, however, this collides with the summer holidays, so it will be busy.

The cooler months are quieter and accommodation (when still open) is cheaper.

If you are planning to travel to the eastern reaches of Turkey during Ramadan/Ramazan, it’s important to consider that many restaurants and shops will either be closed or operating at reduced hours. However, the carnival atmosphere that erupts when the fast breaks in the evening is magical, so travelers who enjoy immersive cultural experiences might prefer to travel during the holy month.

What's the weather like in Turkey?

The weather in Turkey depends on the time of year and region you're visiting. The southern coastlines typically experience a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and wet winters, while the interior regions can experience drastic temperature changes and even snow.

If you're planning on swimming, the water is generally still warm up until the start of November and October is great as it's much quieter.

Weather in Istanbul is fairly temperate, sheltered from severe weather by its proximity to the coastlines.

Is tipping customary in Turkey?

While tipping isn't mandatory in Turkey, a cash tip that equals a small percentage of the total bill is very much appreciated in restaurants.

It's also customary to tip staff while visiting hammams (bathhouses). It's not necessary to tip taxi drivers, although rounding up the fare for convenience is commonplace.

What is the internet access like in Turkey?

Free wi-fi is common in Turkey’s cities, but the quality of connection varies. Alternatively, Turkey has an abundance of internet cafes in large cities, and most of them serve coffee and snacks so you can refuel while you catch up with folks back home.

Internet access can be spotty or non-existent in rural areas, so it’s best to treat travel in these regions as an opportunity for a digital detox. 

Can I use my mobile phone while in Turkey?

Mobile phone coverage is good in Turkey, especially in large cities. Coverage may not be available in more remote areas. Ensure you have global roaming activated with your mobile carrier before you leave home if you wish to use your mobile.

What are the toilets like in Turkey?

Turkey has a mix of Western-style and squat-style toilets, sometimes with a jug of water for manual flushing. The latter becomes more common the more remote the region, however, there's typically a Western-style toilet in every bathroom.

Toilets are known as WCs (short for water closets) in Turkey.

Many public toilets require a small payment of roughly 2-10 TRY for use, so make sure you carry change when out and about.

You may find the standards of hygiene and sanitation in Turkey are laxer than you are used to so it's a good idea to carry toilet paper and hand sanitiser if you are concerned.

Can I drink the water in Turkey?

Drinking tap water isn't recommended in Turkey. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water or carry water purification tablets with you. It's also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and to peel fruit and vegetables rather than eating washed or unwashed produce.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Turkey?

Major credit cards are widely accepted in tourist shopping areas and large hotels in Turkey, but are less commonly accepted by smaller vendors, in remote towns and rural areas. We recommend carrying cash for purchases to avoid being caught out.

What is ATM access like in Turkey?

ATMs are available in large cities in Turkey but are not common in rural areas and smaller towns. Be prepared for this by having enough cash before traveling out of the city.

What to wear in Turkey

Turkey can get quite warm in summer and during the shoulder seasons but it’s important to remember that clothing that covers you from elbows to below the knee is appropriate in (or even around) mosques. Think linen pants, lightweight tops/shirts and long dresses. Female travelers should also carry a scarf on them to wear when visiting mosques.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

Is Turkey safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

LGBTQIA+ travelers should be aware that while Turkey is nominally secular it can also be very conservative. As such, negative attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ individuals are common, particularly outside major cities.  

While same-sex relationships and non-normative gender presentation are not against the law in Turkey, LGBTQIA+ people have no legally enshrined protection from discrimination. Legal prohibitions against ‘ offenses against public morality’ can and have been used to persecute LGBTQIA+ folks, though the likelihood of this being used to target travelers is low.

Transgender travelers, in particular, should be aware that trans people in Turkey report being the targets of violence and overt discrimination. 

Istanbul and Ankara have established queer scenes, both of which are primarily oriented around cisgender gay men and to a lesser extent cisgender gay women. However, same-sex couples are still unlikely to engage in public displays of affection in these cities.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex or ILGA before you travel.

If you are traveling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travelers who do not wish to share a room.

Is Turkey accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

While infrastructure is improving, much of Turkey remains difficult to navigate for wheelchair users and people with mobility concerns. Many cities in Turkey have been occupied for thousands of years and their design reflects that, with little regard given to making streets and attractions accessible. Travelers with impaired mobility will find that while tourist locales in Istanbul, such as hotels and mosques, are fitted with ramps and connected by an accessible tram, getting around the rest of the city can be challenging. Rural regions like Cappadocia will be difficult for travelers with mobility impairment to navigate independently. 

Squat toilets remain the norm in many parts of Turkey, which can pose problems for travelers with certain disabilities.

Traffic in Turkey can be chaotic, and even when traffic lights and pedestrian crossings exist drivers do not always obey them. Taxis are, for the most part, not wheelchair-friendly.         

Travelers who use battery-operated hearing aids should consider bringing a stash of extra batteries, as they can be difficult to locate in Turkey.

If you do live with a visual, hearing or other impairment, let your booking agent or group leader know early on so they’re aware and suitable arrangements can be made. As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.

Does my trip to Turkey support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Turkey directly support our foundation partner, C ontemporary Life Support Association (CYDD) . 

Contemporary Life Support Association (CYDD) provide scholarships and educational programs for economically disadvantaged youth in Turkey. Donations from our trips fund a program where young scholarship awardees undertake outreach workshops with marginalized children in regional villages. Workshops include information sessions on gender equality, health, law, culture, and other human rights topics.

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

How will I be traveling around Turkey?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport – which usually have less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.

Depending what trip you're on while in Turkey, you may find yourself traveling by:

Explore the rugged beauty of Turkey’s coast on a traditional Turkish sailing gulet. Spend days exploring submerged ruins and nights cozied up on deck under the stars.

What is it like traveling on a small group tour?

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or you’re about to embark on your first trip, traveling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organizing amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), traveling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Does my Intrepid trip include airfare?

While our Intrepid trips include many modes of transport, from tuk-tuks to overland vehicles, bullet trains and feluccas, airfare to and from your home country is not included in your tour package.

Turkey Tours

Where East meets West meets you

Meeting place of the Eastern and Western worlds, Turkey has always been a land of contrasts. Cosmopolitan Istanbul stood at the head of the Byzantine Empire for a thousand years, while its Islamic successors, the Ottomans, ruled the Mediterranean and beyond for six centuries more. This long Christian and Islamic history has left a legacy of historical sites, while Turkey's Mediterranean coastline has long been famous for its beaches and wild nightlife. Travel Turkey east into the interior, however, and a more traditional land unfolds where life moves slowly and the legendary Turkish hospitality lives on.

"It is always my pleasure to introduce my country to our guests. Trafalgar trips in Turkey, the cradle of civilisations, offer not only deep history, wonderful museums, great cities, amazing architecture but breathtaking natural beauty as well"

Barcin, Travel Director

Dine listening to Turkish folk and watching belly dancing

Slip into the Karsilama rhythm for a night of Turkish dance and folk music. The seductive art of belly dancing originated in Egypt but has found an energetic form here in Turkey. Take to the stage and try your hand and hips at these skillful moves. 

See the House of Virgin Mary at Mt. Koressos

A humble stone house dating back to the Apostolic Age, the significance of Mt. Koressos's House of Virgin Mary sits within its Catholic mythology. The site where Jesus's mother was said to spend her last days on earth, this shrine attracts pilgrims from near and far.

Relax in the water of Pamukkale's Cotton Castle Springs

Found in River Menderes valley, the Cotton Castle Springs of Pamukkale will leave you in awe of Mother Nature. Soak in the steaming waters of the travertine terraces that are known for their dense mineral content, allowing plenty of time to photograph the milky blue pools and the snow-like setting.

Savor the intoxicating smells of the Spice Market in Ankara

In the nation's capital, dried fruits, nutty sweets and endless spices will entice your senses. Take time to wander the street of Çıkrıkçılar Yokuşu before moving closer to Ankara Castle, where you can shop for silver and ceramics while eating your delicious snacks.

Visit the peculiar landscapes of Cappadocia

One of the top things to do in Turkey, be amazed by the peculiar landscapes of Cappadocia covered in cave hotels and hot air balloons. Visit the so-called fairy chimney rock formations and discover remarkable beauty in the underground Bronze Age homes.

Our top 5 things to do in Turkey

From the otherworldly hot springs of Pamukkale to the balloon covered valleys of Cappadocia, these are just some of the pinch-me moments to experience on our trips to Turkey.

Hagia Sophia

A 6th-century masterpiece showing the opulence of distant eras, Hagia Sophia is a former cathedral transformed into a mosque before finding its current form as a museum. Stare upwards in awe of dome ceilings and ornate chandeliers before stepping outside to take in the external beauty from various angles.

Istanbul Archeology Museum

Connect with an unfathomable depth of history in Turkey's Archaeology Museums. Featuring three buildings, the collections found here unlock the ancient orient and showcase the finest in Islamic art. Allow a whole day to get lost in the depths of distant eras.

Istanbul Modern

Contemporary Turkish artists take the stage in the museum of Istanbul Modern. Housed in a former maritime warehouse, the building now features a cinema, library, gift shop and restaurant with views of the Bosphorus River. Find hours of entertainment within these progressive walls.

Best museums in Turkey

Ready yourself for dazzling cathedrals, contemporary artworks and archaeological marvels on your Turkey trip. Trafalgar will take you under the skin of this country through its soul-stirring museum collection.

Pistachios, pastry and honey come together to create the delicious sweet of baklava. Connected to stories of Sultans and layered with history, sample this treat many times over in the name of culture. Find many moreish trays in any Turkish food market.

Fill your tour of Turkey with copious amounts of the country's famous bread. Typically filled with stringy cheese and spinach, the pie meets pizza snack perfectly compliments a cup of sweet Turkish tea or a stroll around the city.

Balik Ekmek

Balik Ekmek is a popular street food of oily fish wedged between two layers of soft Turkish bread. Traditionally dished up on a boat direct from the fisherman, find this lunch staple and enjoy it while walking along the Bosporus River.

Best food in Turkey

A tantalizing blend between Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, we'll uncover the very best of Turkish food. From baklava to cheesy pides, with many glasses of hot tea in between.

What to pack for Turkey

A thirst for adventure

A Turkish Hammam scrub is a ritual you need to enjoy when visiting this country. Often teamed with communal bathing and occasionally requiring full nudity, pack your confidence to enjoy this tradition that is truly doing as the locals do.

Modest clothing

Turkey is a religious and somewhat traditional country. Pack modest full-length clothing so you can respectfully enjoy momentous religious sights.

A good camera

A smartphone won't suffice when trying to capture a peculiar desert framing a sky of hot air balloons. Pack a good camera so you can snap Turkey to its full beauty.

Old swimwear

Dense in minerals, Turkey's Pamukkale's Cotton Castle Springs may aggravate your swimming clothes should you take a dip. Pack something old and submerge until your heart is content.

Spare suitcase space

Baklava, tea, carpets and jewelry are just some of the goods that will entice you when shopping in Turkey. Leave space for the many treats and trinkets you will want to take home.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

What people love about Turkey Tours

Amazing time in this beautiful country. Would love to go again!

This tour was absolutely wonderful! Our guide Sinan had so much knowledge of Türkiye and taught us to love his country as much as he did. The stops on the tour were excellent and I really felt like we saw so much of the country. With all the food inclusions and the wonderful hotels, this tour was incredible value for money and an overall perfect trip.

We went on the 2024 ANZAC day Colonial Tour with Ege Ertas as our guide over 13 days. Türkiye far exceeded our expectations in the ancient sites we visited, the people we met and the delicious food we had daily. The knowledge that Ege imparted in each of the places we visited was very impressive. He has been the best tour guide we’ve experienced. Fez travel were very easy to work with and we look forward to returning to do another tour with them

Top operators in Turkey

"Overall a fantastic tour! As with most group tours, the experience heavily rested upon the kind of passengers who are on the tour. I was fortunate to have been with an incredible group! Our tour leader, Sebnem, was fantastic. She went out of her way to help provide the best possible experience for everyone, especially challenging when you have a full group of 18 with different interests. The itinerary was overall great, there were some areas that could have benefited from an extra day, but as a whole it was well rounded and provided a journey that gave you a feel for various landscapes, cities, and experiences in Turkey.

G Adventures is an expert in:

• Hiking & Trekking

"Great insight into a beautiful country. Expert tour leader and driver ensured our Turkey experience was one to remember, they could not have been better. Cities and sites visited were excellent. Only slight negative was the accomodation. Both Ramada and Hilton brands need to apply better customer service and better facilities. The ability to access the internet and have appropriate air conditioning were the main issues

Costsaver is an expert in:

"Some excellent guides- including Halime Zehra who was a freelancer and especially Mustafa Mert. We had some excellent food at breakfasts and lunches. However some organisation was not as good as expected. A transfer to Cappadocia from Istanbul that left before breakfast was available was annoying as breakfast was a main meal of the day and we only got bread and coffee. And the transfer from Cappacocia to Izmir that did not leave until 10.30pm and did not have us at our accomodation in Kusadasi until 4.30 am ( a 2 hour flight delay was only part of the problem). We did not appreciate having nothing planned for our 3rd day in Cappadocia and having to pay for an extra tour as there was not much else to do in the isolated town where we were staying of Ugrup. The accomodation was all fine and we learnt so much. The 3 destinations of Istanbul, Cappadocia and Kusadasi were great

Turkey group tour reviews, turkey group tours.

Whether you are looking to tour the highlights of Turkey in a small group of no more than 15 people or prefer to share your holiday experience with a large traveling party, we can make it happen. Here are some of the best group tours of Turkey:

• Istanbul Sightseeing Group Tour :  Want to see all the best sights around the amazing city of Istanbul ? Then join a guided tour of a small party that will take you from the Hagia Sophia to the Grand Bazaar. Your itinerary and transport are pre-organized. This leaves you to take in the beautiful architecture and learn more about the history of the city.
• Small Group Tour of Cappadocia :  If you want to see the iconic hot air balloons of Cappadocia or the famed Uchisar Castle, you might struggle to get around on your own. Traveling in a group tour to these popular sights guarantees you entry in a time slot that works with your itinerary.
• Mini Stay in Kusadasi with Small Group :  Looking for a relaxing stay that is equal parts culture and rejuvenation? A small group tour to Kusadasi includes entry to the hot springs of Pamukkale and several UNESCO cultural sites in the area. Sit back and enjoy your trip, safe in the knowledge that everything is taken care of.

Turkey group tours based on budget

• Luxury group tours in Turkey : Luxury group tours in Turkey mean that you can stay in the finest hotels, enjoy private and luxurious transfers between locations. If you fancy a champagne sunset filled with hot air balloons over Cappadocia, or a crowd-free, private tour of the Hagia Sophia, with luxury group tours, this is all possible. If you are traveling in a small group you will likely stay in five-star hotels with concierges and opulent facilities.
• Budget group tours in Turkey : Traveling on a shoestring? Budget group tours might be the solution you are looking for. Single supplements and solo transfers can quickly add up, so traveling in a group can be cost-effective. In this tour, you will likely be staying in comfortable hostels in dorm settings or in culturally-enriching homestays that allow you to live like a local. In terms of transportation, you can expect ferries and overnight buses with your designated tour group.

Turkey group tours based on popular travel theme

There are so many great group tours in Turkey, ranging from adventure to culture and more. Here are some of our favorites: 

Duration-based group tours to Turkey

If you have only got a few vacation days to spare or have over a fortnight to enjoy, there are small group Turkey tours to suit all durations. Here are different group tours in Turkey based on popular durations:

• 4-day Group Tours in Turkey
• 8-day Group Tours in Turkey
• 15-day Group Tours in Turkey

If you need something a little more bespoke, you can chat with our travel experts and create a customized group tour around Turkey instead.

Travel experience and benefits of Turkey group tours

• Travel with the same people all around Turkey. This way you can build relationships and friendships for life.
• A lot of places like the Temple of Hadrian need tickets in advance for a specific tour slot. Group tours guarantee entry in line with a predetermined itinerary.
• No more hauling your luggage around busy cities and between rural bus stations - group tours mean porters and transfers between all the different locations.
• The worst thing about traveling solo or in a group of three can be the inevitable single supplements that cost a small fortune. Group travel around Turkey means that you will be saving money along the way.

Tips when doing Turkey group tours

• Make sure you make a note of your minibus or car registration number. There are a ton of group tours in Turkey, and a lot of the buses can look the same.
• When visiting mosques in Turkey on a group tour, including the Blue Mosque, remember to respect the culture and religious conventions.
• Tours will leave without you if you are not back on time. Make sure you set alarms when you are on different excursions.

• Pergamum : It’s home to Hellenistic ruins that overlook the town of Bergama in the Aegean region. Don’t miss the Pergamum Acropolis, Asclepion (spa) area, and Red Basilica.
• Turkish Riviera: The azure waters of Turkey’s southwest coast are where wooden boats day cruise from Bodrum, and swimming and lazing about are the most effort you might put into your day.
• Konya: The birthplace of Sufism and perhaps the most traditional place to see the whirling dervish — look for Turkey tours that allow for time to visit the Mevlana Museum to learn more about Rumi, Sufism and the former dervish school that used to be on the premises 
• Kaş: It’s one of the most charming villages in Turkey, located on the Mediterranean coast. Visit Kas with a local guide to get the most out of your visit. They’ll be able to point out their favorite shops and restaurants and set up boat tours to Kalekoy Castle and the Sunken City of Kekova.
• Antalya: The largest is Antalya , whose old section of winding cobbled streets sits on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean and is the site of numerous boutique hotels and chic shops. Antalya is said to be the third most visited city in the world after Paris and London. This is mainly due to cruise ship stops and packaged flights from northern Europe.
• Kusadasi: It’s another popular resort on the Aegean coast, but many foreign visitors go there to see the nearby ruins of Ephesus, a 3,000-year-old Greek commercial center that was the site of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (a single column remains).

• Hike the Lycian Way : This renowned hiking trail is beloved for its amazing views of the Mediterranean, the limestone peaks of ancient Lycia, the ghost village of Kaya Köyü, the remote Seven Capes peninsula, the ruins of Sidyma, and so much more.

• Horseback Ride in Cappadocia : Saddle up and take a horseback tour of the Fairy Chimneys of Cappadocia, one of the world’s most dramatic and exciting landscapes. If you’ve experienced the Big Sky of Montana, you’ll love the similar vastness of this Asia region. Most horseback riding tours in Cappadocia will take a circular route into seldom-visited spots away from heavy tourist traffic.  
• Walk the Carian Trail: This southwest coastal Turkey hiking trail is a bucket-list favorite of trekkers worldwide. Its 800 kilometers wind through the Mugla and Aydin provinces, following in the footsteps of the ancient Carian civilization. It’s one of the best hiking tours in Turkey to see traditional boat building, visit historical ruins, gaze out at the Aegean Sea, learn about the region’s agriculture, swim in turquoise waters, and experience a gorgeous Mediterranean climate. 
• Cycle Along Turkey’s Southwest Coast : Cover miles of Turkish coastline and hinterland per day on a guided bike tour between Dalyan and Kas, perhaps combining your cycle trip with a walking tour of the Lycian Way. 
• Try Kitesurfing: What to try something new on your Turkey trip? The best place to try kitesurfing in Turkey is Alaçati. Your outdoor adventure tour operator can bring you up to speed and help you sign up for a first-timer’s course. You’ll be soaring over the Aegean before you know it. 
• Go Diving in Kas: Considered one of the best dive sites in the Mediterranean, Kas is a must for those who take their adventure travel under the waves. Even if it’s your first time, your tour guide can arrange certification. Explore rainbow-hued fish, caves, and rock formations under the glistening surface of the Mediterranean. 
• Kayak Along the Lycian Coast : Guided kayak tours of the Lycian region in Turkey will take you around the remote Seven Capes peninsula, to white-sand Patara Beach, past caves and blowholes, and through the islands of Fethiye Bay, with plenty of opportunity to jump into the heavenly Mediterranean waters for a refreshing swim.
• Visit a Turkish Nature Park : There are countless protected nature parks throughout Turkey, perfect for outdoor activities. Depending on your interests, look for active travel companies in Turkey that utilize these picturesque spots for everything from angling and rafting to wildlife observation and mountain biking. 
• Goreme: Explore the mysterious and captivating landscapes of Turkey’s Goreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia. 
• Kackar Mountains: The Kackar Range is one of the best places in Turkey for ecotourism and a favorite of nature-loving travelers. 
• Dilek Peninsula: Not only is the Diley Peninsula National Park breathtaking, but it is also one of Turkey’s most important natural heritage sites. Located in the Aydin province in the Aegean region, it is also a world heritage site.
• Mount Erciyes in Cappadocia: This now-extinct volcano is in central Anatolia. Your small group’s local Turkish guide can help you navigate the mysterious lunar-like landscape of Cappadocia, famous for its fairy chimneys.
• Thermal Springs : Turkey is rich in thermal springs thanks to an ancient volcanic landscape. Tours focused on active adventure travel in Turkey will tell you where to see and soak in these healing waters.
• Pamukkale: With its gleaming white tiers over which blue hot springs cascade gently, Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Turkey’s most famous natural wonders. The ancient Romans living near Hierapolis visited the pools for their mineral-rich, healing properties.
• Mount Ararat: Adventure travelers on vacation in Turkey will love rugged, snow-capped Mount Ararat, the country’s highest mountain and source of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.
• Aegean Sea : The Aegean region is one of the most photographed spots in Turkey, thanks to the flower-bedecked Butterfly Valley. Look for the rare Jersey tiger butterfly. 
• Nemrut Lake: Turkey tours that visit Eastern Anatolia will highlight Nemrut Lake, the world’s second-largest crater lake and Turkey’s largest. There are steam chimneys, ice caves, hot and cold water to plunge into and soak in, a unique caldera landscape, and excellent birdwatching. 
• Kebaps — Grilled meat on a skewer, most likely lamb or beef, but chicken is also widely available.
• Döner — Meat mixed with local herbs and spices, then skewered and grilled vertically.
• Köfte meatballs — Typically ground lamb or mutton with breadcrumbs, onions, and spices; Izgara Köfte is a favorite, served with green peppers, dried red peppers, and rice or bread
• Mantı dumplings — Doughy dumplings filled with ground lamb or beef, onion, and spices 
• Sade pilav — A popular side dish, essentially rice and tiny pasta (şehriye) cooked with various vegetables, meats, or chickpeas, with a variety of spices 
• Cacık — A refreshing blend of cucumber, yogurt, garlic and mint
• Leblebi — roasted chickpeas with salt, spices, cloves or candy-coated 
• Meze platter — Small dishes or appetizers like dips, purees, salads, meatballs, pastries, cheeses, olives, and more 
• Imam Bayildi — Entire eggplant stuffed with onion, garlic and tomato
• Börek pastries — ranging from plain to spinach-filled to meat-filled
• Pide — slightly leavened bread similar to pizza, with a variety of meat and cheese toppings 
• Mısır —  boiled or grilled corn on the cob
• Balık ekmek — fish bread — truly, it’s grilled or fried fish stuffed inside a large hunk of bread
• Simit — a savory sesame-covered roll (think: Turkish bagel)
• Midye dolma — stuffed mussels
• Kokoreç — grilled sheep intestines with a heavy dose of spices, roasted on a skewer
• Turkish Delight: Don’t head home from your Turkey vacation without these traditional sweet treats. Choose from several flavors, including rose, cinnamon, and lemon, of this gummy treat. If you’re in Istanbul, stop by Hacir Bekir Efendi’s family shop — the original inventor of the Turkish delight.
• The Evil Eye (Nazar Boncugu): Ward off bad luck with this ancient Turkish talisman. If your Turkey tour visits Nazarkoy in western Izmir, you can see the workshops where many of these evil eyes are manufactured.
• Turkish Carpets: Bring a long-lasting Turkish carpet home to remind you of your travels to Turkey. Ask your tour guide for tips before shopping because many copycat carpets are flooding the market. Your expert local guide can point you in the right direction and help you navigate the traditional carpet choices. Given the high price tags, it’s worth it to take the time to do your research. 
• Cappadocia Clay Pottery: Many Turkey vacation packages visit the intriguing Cappadocia region — shop for red clay pottery, particularly in Avanos on the Red River town. Want to give pottery a try yourself? Look for Cappadocia tours that include a trip to a workshop where you can sit down with the artists and provide the potter’s wheel a spin yourself. 
• Apple Tea: The Rize area is Turkey’s tea capital, and although apple tea is a favorite Turkish souvenir, the locals drink black tea. Turkish coffee is another go-to souvenir for caffeine lovers — grab one of the small copper cups the locals use for it.
• Spices: You’ll be trying a whole range of Turkish cuisine during your small-group tour and, no doubt, looking forward to replicating the flavors when you return home. Shop at the Spice Market and Istanbul Grand Bazaar for red chili flakes and sumac. Just don’t fall for saffron because most of what you’ll find stems from Iran, not Turkey.
• Gourd Lamps: Less likely to break in your luggage than mosaic glass lamps, gourd lamps are readily available for purchase along the Turkish coastline and are made from dried squash, then decorated with sparkling jewels.

I've always wanted to book a trusted and experienced tour service for my first-ever trip to Istanbul. And booking with iLinkTurkey, I was not disappointed. They offered airport transfers, accommodations, and breakfasts to go along with the city's tour, which the entire 3 days there worth it. The booking process was extremely easy, and we had a tour guide that spoke English, so we got to learn the rich history along sightseeing. My family and I definitely recommend iLinkTurkey, especially their Istanbul Tours.

Tanya Yilmaz

10/10 Tour service. We had accommodations and everything when we booked our Ephesus Package from iLinkTurkey. The guide knew the place locally and guided us around the ancient site with local expertise. We also had flexibility in the program and considering the nature of the site, accommodations, and additional services, the price was worth it. Highly recommend.

Gia Mendoza

Second time booking iLinkTurkey's tours and this experience was amazing as the first. Visited ancient and cultural spots, and ate Turkish kebabs for breakfast, but the Bosphorus cruise was the highlight. The ocean was beautiful. The hotel was comfortable and accommodating. Had a blast, would definitely recommend.

Exceeded expectations, excellent guide, comfortable and hassle-free booking, fascinating, and educational visit in a beautiful country.

The tour was really great. The program was planned very nicely, with breaks so we could relax and stroll a little on our own. The sights in Konya, Cappadocia, and Bursa were never ending and the guide did their very best in explaining all the history. Was sad to leave on the last day but the experience was worth every cent. I would suggest ilinkturkey to anyone who wants to have a nice time in Turkey.

Türkiye boasts one of the world’s oldest civilizations. It has a central plateau surrounded by mountains, and its highest peak is Mount Ararat, in the Eastern Anatolia Region. Ararat a snow-capped and dormant volcano believed to be the final resting place of the biblical Noah’s Ark. Ankara is the capital of Türkiye and its second largest city. Its history dates back as far as the Hattic civilization of the Bronze Age more than three thousand years ago. Since the establishment of its independence beginning in 1922, Ankara has grown into an international and modern city with the vastness of its history and ancient sites never far away, or far from mind.  Ataturk Mausoleum, also known as Antikabir (memorial tomb), is a symbol of reverence and national identity. It is the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, completed in 1953, fifteen years after his death. Turks have great respect for Ataturk for his role in transforming Turkey from an Ottoman Empire into a modern, secular, and democratic nation. Millions visit every year to witness the collection of memorabilia and artifacts of the founder of modern Türkiye.

The Culture

Today Istanbul is the cultural centre of Turkiye and stands as a fashionable, stunning, historical city. With a distinct ambience and abundance of architectural wonders, you’ll find art galleries, museums, boulevards for strolling or shopping, and many options for great restaurants, cafes, and bars.

Topkapi Palace is a good place to start to discover aspects of the Ottoman legacy. Once the primary main residence of Ottoman sultans from the 15th - 19th centuries, there is lots to see here. As sultans passed through its walls over several centuries, each built onto and expanded the palace – the result is a palace that truly reflects the cultural and artistic achievements of the Empire over its time in power.

Half a day here wouldn’t be wasted. The rectangular complex, with multiple spires, has four main courtyards and several smaller buildings. The Harem were the private quarters where the sultan’s family, concubines, and eunuch’s lived and vied for influence and power. The Ottomans did not skip out on decor – the palace is filled with opulent pavilions and a treasury filled with jewels, marble hallways, lavish Ottoman sofas and fireplaces, and intricately tiled rooms.

The famous Blue Mosque, and the Hagia Sofia sit next to each other in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul.

The Blue Mosque, officially known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque, was built in the early 17th century. The enormous and imposing mosque is recognizable for its six minarets and beautiful blue tiles. It features a large central dome, with several smaller and half-domes, intricate tilework, calligraphy, and stained glass. The structure remains an active Mosque and place of worship for Muslims.

Hagia Sofia is an older structure first built as a cathedral by the Roman Emperor Constantius II in 360 AD. This structure also features a massive dome and has been both a Catholic cathedral and a mosque over its existence  – during the time of the Ottomans it was a mosque for 500 years but was turned into a museum in 1935 to promote secularization. In July 2020 the Turkish government turned it back into a mosque, sparking debate.

The Best Time to Visit

The climate of Turkey is very much dependent on geographical regions. The Marama, Aegean, and Mediterranean coasts enjoy a typically Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The Black Sea coast also experiences warm summers and mild winters, but it has a heavier rainfall season. And the interior plains are colder in winter because the mountains that run parallel to the coasts block the moderating effect that would come from the seas that surround the country. 

If you’re looking to put your feet in the sand at a resort, there are lots to choose from. The Turkish coastlines are dotted with dramatic landscapes and cosy nooks perfect for contemplation and deep relaxation. Walks along lengthy shorelines with golden beaches and natural harbours, paragliding, and water sports beckon a visit. 

Antalya, known as ‘the Pearl of the Mediterranean’, with its endless beaches, ruins, nightlife, and golf courses. The region offers tours to some lesser known attractions, like Saklikent Gorge, one of the deepest in the world.There are many small islands to explore with small coves, crystal waters and beaches, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and picnicking.

If you’re traveling in the colder months, Aryan is a traditional Turkish drink made from yogurt, salt, and water. Boza is a drink popular in the winter made from mildly fermented millet, and it tastes like eggnog. Sahlep is another warm drink made from the pulverized tubers of wild orchids. It is sweet and is served sprinkled with cinnamon.

The Grand Bazaar is one of the world’s largest covered markets. Spread over sixty-one covered streets with more than four-thousand shops, it’s considered the world’s first shopping mall. Employs twenty-six thousand people, open everyday except Sundays and holidays. Enjoy a stroll through its narrow lanes where you can see artisans at work and find a local snack to eat.

Things to Know

The Museum of Anatolian Civilization in Ankara stuns with exhibits from the Paleolithic Age (before 8000 BC), displaying stone and bone tools used by cave-dwelling hunter and gatherer communities. The Neolithic Age is also represented (8000-5500 BC) with artifacts from the beginning of agricultural practices. Objects include sculptures of mother goddesses, stamps, earthenware and bone tools.

Istanbul was once the imperial city of Constantinople, which was, for almost a thousand years, the last outpost of the Holy Roman Empire. It was conquered by the Ottomans in 1453 and became the military centre from which campaigns were born, expanding the Ottoman Empire across Europe, Asia, and Africa. By the middle of the 16th century, the population of Istanbul had grown to nearly half a million people, becoming a major cultural, political, and commercial centre. It remained under Ottoman rule until World War I, and gained its independence in 1922

With its long history, many ancient monuments date back to the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods. Historic parts of Istanbul became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 and include landmarks such as the Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace which houses important holy relics from the Muslim world including a cloak, sword, and staff of the Prophet Muhammad. The Key to the Kaaba, the most sacred site in Islam, is also held here.

Turkey is a hotbed of biodiversity with an incredible flora and fauna. The country still has some large mammals such as the striped hyena, brown bear, grey wolf, and a mid-sized wildcat called a caracal. One of the most incredible flight migrations occurs over the city of Istanbul in February and March when flocks of storks fly down the Bosphorus toward warmer temperatures in Africa and the Middle East.

Food & Drink

Turkish food is filled with fresh ingredients like olive oil, yogurt, vegetables, meat, and spices like cumin, sumac, and red pepper. Local cuisine is diverse and flavourful, and has been influenced by its proximity to the Mediterranean, Middle East, Central Asia, and the Balkans.

A global favourite, kebabs are grilled meat on a stick and can be eaten in a flatbread or on rice. Shish kebabs are skewered marinated chunks of meat. Doner kebabs, also known as gyro, is thinly sliced and stacked meat, grilled, and usually served on bread with onions and tahini. Adana kebabs are made from ground lamb, shaped around skewers and served on a flatbread with tomatoes and onions. 

Mezze is a style of eating that involves serving numerous small hot and cold appetizers like babaganoush, hummus, haloumi cheese, meats, tabbouleh, and stuffed grape leaves known as dolmas. Pide, similar to pizza, but with a Turkish twist, is a boat shaped flatbread with toppings like mincemeat, vegetables and herbs.

Baklava is a sweet dessert made with thin layers of pastry and covered with a honeyed syrup and chopped nuts, and Turkish delight is a sweet and chewy gelatin confection traditionally flavoured with rosewater and dusted with icing sugar – there are many varieties of this dessert using other fruits and spices.

The enormous kitchens of the Ottoman Topkapi Palace at times had upwards of 1300 staff preparing extravagant meals. Special meals included salads sprinkled with rose petals, Circassian chicken with walnut sauce, and rice with eggplant and meatballs.

Turkish tea and coffee are strong and rich in flavour, served in small glasses, and usually served with a small piece of Turkish delight. Raki, also known as Lion’s Milk, is an anise-flavoured spirit made from twice-distilled grapes, plums, or pears. It’s the national drink of Turkiye.

On hot summer days, the popular Turkish beer Efes Pilsen with a squeeze of lemon hits the spot, or you can try a Turkish Delight martini with its floral flavours mixed with vodka and rosewater.

However, if a direct flight is unavailable, layovers may add 2 to 3 more hours to your Turkey travel time from India. The airline companies operating on this route include Air India, Ukraine International Airlines, Air Astana, Aeroflot, and Oman Air. If you don’t want to handle the aspect of booking flight tickets for your trip, look for Turkey packages that come with the choice of included or optional flights.

You can also opt for train travel, which is a lot cheaper but can take comparatively much longer. The service connects Turkey to European countries and is operated by the Turkish State Railways. 

Train services are available from Bulgaria, Greece , and Romania. You also have rail connections from Denmark, Switzerland , Holland, Italy, and Germany. Besides, there are also weekly trains from the Middle East. However, travelling from Asian countries involves juggling across waterways to reach rail junctions. Transportation by train is not usually included in most Turkey packages, especially in the case of Turkey tour packages from India. 

By Cruise 

Another travel option for your Turkey tour is to reach your destination by sea. Turkey has several ports where Mediterranean cruise ships can berth comfortably. Opting for a luxurious ship cruise to reach Turkey’s shores is an exciting possibility that some people prefer. Make sure to look for cruise-special Turkey packages in advance if you want to travel this way.

A road trip to Turkey is tedious but not impossible. The journey can be pretty long, quiet and uncomfortable. Crisscrossing the 8,000 km journey could take anywhere between 11 to 12 days. It would help if you got visas to the countries you must cross, including Pakistan, Quetta, Teheran, and Zahedan. Buses ply from Europe, but the fares are pretty high and may match airfares. Road transports are not generally included in most Turkey packages.

The city is divided by the Bosphorus Straits, putting part of the city in Asia and part of it in Europe. However, most of Istanbul (95%) is in Asia, and the rest (5%) is in Europe.
• The capital of Turkey is Ankara, not Istanbul: Istanbul used to be the capital city of three empires, Byzantine, Rome and Ottoman. However, contrary to popular belief, it is not the current capital of Turkey as that title is held by Ankara.
• Istanbul was earlier known as Byzantium: You may have heard of the Byzantine Empire, originating from the Greek word Byzantium. The term refers to Byzas, the founder of Istanbul, which was known as Byzantium when it was established. The name later changed to Constantinople. In 1930, the city got its current name – Istanbul.
• Turks Love Tea More than Coffee: You may have heard of Turkish brew too frequently, which generally refers to coffee. However, the truth is that over 95% of the population prefers to drink tea. Don’t forget to try it yourself during your Turkey tours and travels.

• Serving Turkish Tea: As mentioned earlier, the Turkish drink more tea than coffee. Serving tea is steeped in tradition and is followed more like a ritual that shows the host’s hospitality. Don’t be surprised if a Turkish family welcomes you with a hot cup of tea, which means they like you and are trying to be friendly.
• Oil Wrestling: One of Turkey's most exciting and action-packed traditions is oil wrestling, which takes place in every corner of the country. This traditional sport can be dated back to Mesopotamia, where it originated. History has it that the sport started in 1362 as the exciting Kirkpinar oil wrestling championship in Erdine. The wrestlers soak themselves in oil and try to grapple with each other, and the many slips and falls add to the fun element. The end of June is the best time to go Turkey to witness this traditional sport.
