The Splendours of Southwestern Turkey
10 Days
Southwestern Turkey Archaeology Tour considers spectacularly beautiful mountains, behind the famous “Turquoise Coast” and the lands of the ancient Lycians, one of the most enigmatic peoples of antiquity. Although little historical record has been left behind them, what has been discovered reveals a fascinating people culturally distinct from the rest of the ancient world. Around twenty major sites remain today, with the Lycians’ unusual funerary architecture dominating the breathtakingly unspoiled land of Lycia. On the north explore Sagalassos, one of the best preserved cities from classical antiquity with a rich architectural and sculptural tradition dating from the 2nd century BC to the 6th century AD and Antioch Pisidia the city dates back to the 3rd century BC.

What Our Guests Say About Turkey
Turkey has many sensational archaeological sites…..the best are covered on this tour. The local guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. Southwestern Turkey Archaeology Tour was organised well. There were no delays or problems. You could not cover as much ground as an independent tourist for anything like the cost of this tour.
