Explore Greco-Roman ruins, traditional villages and stunning scenery of Southern Turkey
Low visitor numbers in winter, Aegean Coast sunshine and a dusting of snow make an ideal escape
Stay in a beautiful winery near Ephesus and discover laid back Kas on the Turquoise Coast

The trip "Highlights And Hidden Gems Of Western Turkey" starts from and ends in Antalya. It is a trekking and hiking tour that takes 13 days taking you through Ephesus, Burdur, Aphrodisias and 7 other destinations in Turkey. "Highlights And Hidden Gems Of Western Turkey" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Ancient Antolia, or modern-day southern Turkey, is home to sites that traverse the course of history from the ancient Greeks to the Romans and through the Byzantine era. Delve into Turkey's rich history, uncovering must-see sites as well as those off the beaten track, get to know village life and take in stunning scenery from the picturesque Turquoise Coast to the snow-capped Taurus Mountains. In winter months and low season you will obviously encounter lower temperatures, although somewhat tempered by the climate on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, but also much fewer tourists and the possibility of scenic snow in the mountains.

Explore Ephesus - Walk the marble streets where Saint Paul preached and see the famous Celsus library

Uncover littleknown gems - Get off the tourist track and discover magnificent but rarely visited ancient wonders such as Afrodisias and Sagalassos

Unwind on the Turquoise Coast - Soak up the sun by the coast in laidback Kas and historic Antalya
