Luxury holidays in turkey

The Anatolian peninsula comprising most of modern Turkey is one of the oldest continually inhabited regions in the world due to its location at the intersection of Asia and Europe, bordering the Black Sea, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean coastline is dotted with well-preserved Greco-Roman cities such as Pergamom and Ephesus, while the austere and rugged Anatolian plateau has cave churches hidden away in the improbable fairytale landscape of Cappadocia. Istanbul, quintessentially Eastern is at the heart of the nation, with historic Roman aqueducts, Byzantine churches, glittering Ottoman mosques and palaces on offer, contrasting with the modern glamorous bars, restaurants and the new Istanbul Modern Gallery. 

Luxury holidays in Turkey with Abercrombie & Kent will uncover the rich history set in a varied and beautiful landscape with historic sites and archaeological wonders.

Taste delicious cuisine - start with shared meze dishes including sarma, rice in vine leaves, humous and for mains pirzola, grilled mutton.
