Turkey Anatolia-Lycia Tour (TAL) Dossier 2016 Click to download itinerary (pdf format)

A fascinating journey through the Anatolian plains of Asia Minor, visiting the little discovered Eastern region of Turkey where great empires have flourished and faded over the millennia, and stunning scenery and landscapes capture the imagination. Various cultures came and left their mark including the Assyrians, Hittites and Phrygians and there will be an opportunity to admire Byzantine churches and the architecture of the Seljuk and Ottoman Turks. In contrast, and unique in its content, our itinerary also includes the rich cultural heritage of ancient Lycia, founded in the 2nd century BC and that later became a Roman province. This South West region of Turkey has an unrivalled concentration of archaeological treasures as a result, comparable to an open-air museum, and we spend time visiting a carefully chosen selection of the best sites. Antalya, the eastern border of ancient Lycia, with Perge and Aspendos on its doorstep plus some of the principal Lycian cities; Tlos, Patara, Myra, Arycanda and Phaselis in the heart of Lycia.
