South Eastern Turkey Borderlands

(GUIDED TOURS CODE SE)

Our guided tours of South Eastern Turkey provide you with an unforgettable feast of exotic colours, cultures and landscapes. The Southeast and its borderlands form the "untamed" part of Turkey, more Middle-Eastern in flavour, with medieval towns such as Mardin and Hasankeyf on the Tigris river, and the spectacular castle of Anavarza which few outsiders ever get to see.

This fully escorted tour starts on the shores of Lake Van, one of the world's highest inland lakes. You make a detour to the Palace of Ishak Pasa with its large harem and stunning views of Mount Ararat, before walking around a 3000-metre high volcanic crater. You travel through the heart of Anatolia's Kurdish region to witness the sunset amongst the giant statues of the megalomaniac King Antiochus on Nemrut Dag, a mountaintop monument of ancient folly. After experiencing the exotic city of Urfa, birthplace of Abraham with its colourful oriental bazaar, you end the tour in Antakya, ancient Antioch, which is the unlikely custodian of one of the world's most stunning collections of Roman art.

It is on this tailor made, fully escorted touring holiday that you will experience the intense fascination of Anatolian Turkey and its people with their most unaffected hospitality.
