Experience the traditional and modern wonders of

this fascinating nation on a special expedition

P

artly in Europe and partly in Asia, Turkey has been

a bridge and a barrier between the two continents

for centuries, a land scattered with evidence of

civilisations, including the Assyrian, Ottoman and

Roman, and conquerors, such as Alexander the Great.

On this exclusive 12-day women-only tour, you’ll

visit bustling spice bazaars, ornate mosques and

cosmopolitan cities, such as Istanbul.

You will be touring with our expert travel partner

Intrepid Travel, who will ensure you discover both

the ancient and the new through the lives of local

women. You will meet extraordinary people – from

a boat captain to businesswomen to a Turkish

family – as you learn about tourism, how to make the

perfect traditional coffee and the art of fortune-telling,

and see some of the most beautiful scenery the region

has to offer. A particular highlight will be a visit

to a Syrian refugee social enterprise, where you’ll

have lunch with women living there.

Reasons to book

COSMOPOLITAN ISTANBUL

Your expedition begins in Istanbul, the metropolis

that the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans

have previously called home. You’ll spend three days

here, with plenty of leisure time to explore the city

for yourself. You’ll also meet a local spice merchant,

visit a traditional Turkish delight seller and see the

magnificent Ottoman-built Süleymaniye Mosque that

sits high above the natural harbour of the Golden

Horn. There’s also a tour of the Grand Bazaar, a belly

dancing class and a women-only hammam.

SEE AUTHENTIC TURKEY

In addition to the Turkish capital, you’ll also visit the

Cappadocia region, where you will tour Göreme’s
