Stunning coastlines, Archaeological wonders and Historic cities
Turkey is the land where East meets West, the mountains reach the sea and where blocks of civilisation were formed. The country abounds with history, nature and fascinating cities; much of which is included in the tour.
The History of Gallipoli and the World War I beaches of Anzac cove, Ancient Troy and its wooden horse, the Roman city of Ephesus, the whirling Dervish region of Konya and the striking amphitheatre of Aspendos.
For nature lover’s there’s stunning journeys along the beautiful Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines, the fairy chimney structures of Cappadocia, the high walled Saklikent gorge and the ‘Cotton Castle’ of Pamukkale.
We visit Turkey two greatest cities: Capital Ankara with its old centre and mausoleum to ‘Ataturk’ (Turkeys founder) and to Istanbul, home of the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace & the Grand Bazaar.
Throughout Turkey you will find local people are particularly friendly and fascinating to interact with; being Turkish speaking our Tour Directors are on hand to assist with this.
Motorhoming in Turkey is a wonderful experience and one that is best enjoyed by those possessing an open mind to camping, having a sense for adventure and being reasonably mobile.
Ken Starmer – Western Turkey May/June 2022
‘A fantastic tour in a fantastic country. The Turkish speaking tour leaders were brilliant. If you get the chance to take your motorhome to Turkey, grab it with both hands, you won’t regret it.’
Chris & Elain Morgan – Western Turkey May/June 2022
‘This was our first GB Motorhome Tours holiday and it won’t be our last! Turkey is an incredible country -so diverse – and its people friendly and welcoming. We cannot fault the quality of the programme and its implementation. From start to finish, Nurcan and Kevin delivered impeccably. They are both hugely knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, friendly and professional in everything they do.’
