Turkey is an archaeologist's dream. It has been called the cradle of civilizations, and for good reason. In a land where countless civilizations have come and gone, over millennia the accumulation of archaeological artefacts has even to this day, not been fully discovered. History is so pervasive here that new archaeological discoveries are popping up more frequently than ever, and in the past have lead to the discovery of ancient centres of knowledge such as Troy, Pergamon, Ephesus and many more. Featuring expert tour guides that are very familiar with all visited sites and regions in Turkey, you will feel right at home as you explore Turkey on your archaeological holiday.
