Cruise & Cycle Holidays in Turkey

The Aegean coasts "have the most beautiful sky and the best climate in the world." (In the words of Heredotus). The bays and peninsulas, coves and golden beaches stretch the length of these beautiful shores. In this region where the countless events of mythology took place, you will encounter the theatres, temples and agoras of ancient cities at almost every turn. The city of Troy immortalised by Homer and Pergamum, the art and cultural centre and capital city of one of the most powerful kingdoms of the day, are both located on Aegean soil.

Bodrum (ancient Halikarnas) is the birthplace of the great historian Heredotus. The mausoleum of King Mausolos was considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Among the most famous cities of the ancient world, Ephesus was one of the biggest cities of the Roman era. A treasury of all the riches of Ionian culture, Ephesus had a reputation for philosophy and critical thinking. The Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, as well as countless statues, theatres, libraries, markets and smaller temples were all architectural symbols of the city's fame.
