SO WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS TURKISH TOUR?
Yes, we take you to all the 'must see' sights such as Istabul's Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, the troglodyte dwellings in Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Pergamum and the mighty Roman ruins of ancient Ephesus where Empires have left their mark. That's where any similarity stops! The clear difference with our programme is that we also added three night stays in the Gallipoli region and Marmaris, that we trust you will agree are essential to complete your Turkish experience. Over three nights in Marmaris we take a delightful day trip to the Greek Island of Rhodes and also spend a day cruising along the Turqoise Coast. Additional we spend three fascinating nights near Gallipoli exploring the dramatic battlefields and obtaining an abosorbing insight into the lifestyle and living conditions of the infamous 'ANZAC Diggers'. Our private morning commemoration at the Anzac Cove completes Albatross Travel's truly different Turkish touring experience.
