Trip at a Glance

Small Groups: Never more than 10-14 travelers—guaranteed!

Explore Turkey and travel across time. From Turkey’s glittering Turquoise Coast to Istanbul’s legendary Bosporus Strait, Turkey is awash in history: home to 10,000 years of culture and prodigious sultans who created glorious empires from volcanic soil. Experience the raw material of legend up close—from the dazzling Blue Mosque of Istanbul to the cave churches of Göreme and the vast Konya Plateau, where Sufi dervishes whirl—and immerse yourself in discovery as we descend into elaborate Cappadocian cave cities and stay overnight with a village family in the Taurus Mountains.

Your Turkish adventure sails on: For four days, a gleaming, private gulet-style yacht will serve as home base for our small travel group as we visit Byzantine monasteries and Cleopatra’s Baths. Come aboard to visit Turkey with OAT for an intimate taste of this turquoise and alabaster land.
