Journeys

Example itineraries. Each one is a starting point: yours is designed around who is travelling, when, and what you like.

Istanbul, Cappadocia and Bodrum, eleven nights

An example itinerary through Istanbul, Cappadocia and Bodrum

Three worlds in eleven nights: the city, the valleys, then a week by the water where nothing starts before ten. The shape of most of the journeys we design, and the one the sample dossier on our homepage was written around.

  • Two short flights, both after breakfast
  • Calmer bays and a steadier boat where there are children
  • One designer from the first call to the flight home

Istanbul and the Lycian coast, nine nights

An example itinerary through Istanbul and Antalya

Three nights in the city, then six on the coast where the Lycians cut their tombs into the cliffs: clear water under pale rock, ruined cities a short drive apart, and a boat of your own that leaves before the day boats do.

  • Kekova by your own boat, before the day boats
  • Patara and Xanthos with an archaeologist
  • Six nights above the water, no two early mornings in a row

Istanbul and the eastern Black Sea, eight nights

An example itinerary through Istanbul and Black Sea

The other Türkiye: three nights in the city, then five in the green north-east, where forest comes down to the sea, tea grows on the terraces above Rize, and the high summer pastures sit above the clouds.

  • The yaylas, above the clouds, with a family who summers there
  • Tea terraces above Rize; the hazelnut harvest in late summer
  • Green, wet, and almost nobody else from abroad
