Enjoy the magnificent lunar landscape of Cappadocia, take a stroll along some of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean, explore the ruins of ancient civilizations, visit Ottoman palaces, mosques, Byzantine churches, Turkish baths and oriental bazaars, discover a host of charming, 'off the beaten track' villages and of course feel the vibrant energy of Istanbul itself. The friendly and knowledgeable team at Journey Anatolia is also happy to tailor a private tour to suit your particular needs and specific interests.

Journey Anatolia Concept and Philosophy
The company is founded on one basic principle, "to present the wonders of Turkey in an honest, responsible and conscious manner". In order to maintain a policy of responsible travel, Journey Anatolia group sizes are kept small; this means less impact on the environment and local communities. Small groups also mean better interaction with local people. Rather than damaging local traditions and culture, one is able to celebrate it, encourage it and by manifesting a genuine interest in it, help to preserve it. Journey Anatolia is also proactive in conservation efforts such as the "save the turtles campaign" on Olympos Beach.

Vehicles
The drama and excitement of the road is as much a part of any Tour in Turkey as the locations themselves. Journey Anatolia uses either Land Rover Defenders or small people carriers. The tour occasionally uses off road tracks and where possible they avoid large roads in favor of smaller, scenic ones.

"The sheer beauty of the land and it's history, the people, the chit-chat in the cafes, the aroma of spices, the fruit tobacco in the Hubbly Bubbly pipes, the carpet traders and their art in seducing you, the different blues of the Med, the wild, wild landscapes, and then there is Istanbul, the city at the crossroads of Asia & Europe, something you feel with every single breath. Turkey has constant reminders of everything you learnt at school and of your parents teachings as a child. Our Journey Anatolia guide was a gentle, inspiring and passionate man who won all our hearts, he did everything for us. He even took us on a culinary journey which was a sheer delight to me as a Cafe owner". Chris Crompton - Sydney, Australia

"Our days with Journey Anatolia were relaxed, exciting, and informative. The Land Rover gave us access to many beautiful and interesting places just off the beaten track as well as some of the best known historic sites in the area. We had ample time to explore on our own at each stop while our friendly guide took care of arrangements. With excellent food and accommodation plus informative insights into the local culture, this is a charming and intimate way to discover some of Turkey's many treasures". Barbara and Gary Moore - Canada
