Immersive Western Turkey : Culinary & Cultural Tour
Trace the legendary stories of Western and Central Türkiye as ancient history, natural wonders, and delicious cuisine of course … We don’t just show you destinations – we let you taste them. At Atlas Global Tours, history and food come together to create memories that last a lifetime.
Begin on the windswept cliffs of Gallipoli, where the Aegean Sea meets a powerful legacy. Walk through memorials and quiet cemeteries, reflecting on the courage and sacrifice of the ANZAC soldiers.
Journey to the myth-laden ruins of Troy, where archaeologists unearthed layers of civilizations and where the legendary Trojan War is said to have taken place. Stand where myths met reality and imagine the echo of ancient footsteps.
Continue south to Dalyan, a lush river paradise. Cruise along reed-lined waterways, glide past majestic Lycian rock tombs, and enjoy natural mud baths. With a bit of luck, spot loggerhead sea turtles on Iztuzu Beach.
In Aphrodisias, step into one of Türkiye’s best-preserved ancient cities. Wander marble streets, admire the graceful Temple of Aphrodite, and feel the energy of the monumental stadium that once hosted roaring crowds.
Next, soak in the surreal beauty of Pamukkale. Walk barefoot along warm, white travertine terraces filled with mineral-rich pools, and explore Hierapolis, an ancient city built above a thermal spring.
Cross into the heart of Anatolia and arrive in mystical Konya, home of the Whirling Dervishes. Discover the teachings of Rumi as you explore this spiritual and soulful city.
Your adventure reaches its grand finale in Cappadocia, a fairytale landscape of volcanic valleys and cave-carved homes. At sunrise, take to the sky in a hot-air balloon, drifting over chimneys of stone and endless horizons—a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
