Details
Ancient Antolia, or modern-day southern Turkey, is home to sites that traverse the course of history from the ancient Greeks to the Romans and through the Byzantine era. Delve into Turkey's rich history, uncovering must-see sites as well as those off the beaten track, get to know village life and take in stunning scenery from the picturesque Turquoise Coast to the snow-capped Taurus Mountains. In winter months and low season you will obviously encounter lower temperatures, although somewhat tempered by the climate on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, but also much fewer tourists and the possibility of scenic snow in the mountains.
Explore Ephesus - Walk the marble streets where Saint Paul preached and see the famous Celsus library
Uncover littleknown gems - Get off the tourist track and discover magnificent but rarely visited ancient wonders such as Afrodisias and Sagalassos
Unwind on the Turquoise Coast - Soak up the sun by the coast in laidback Kas and historic Antalya
