Turkey Guided Tours by Specialty
Turkey’s diversity means there is a tour built around almost any travel interest. Below are our main specialty categories for 2026 and 2027.
First Trip to Turkey
On your first trip to Turkey, you can cover the essential highlights (Istanbul, Ephesus, Cappadocia, and the western Mediterranean coast) comfortably in 8 to 10 days. The following fully escorted tours include 4-star and 5-star hotel accommodation and guaranteed departures.
Gulet and Yacht Cruises in Turkey
A Blue Voyage is a yacht or gulet cruise along Turkey’s Aegean or Mediterranean shores. The traditional Turkish gulet is built for comfort: wide decks, spacious cabins, and a crew that cooks fresh meals often from the day’s catch. This is one of the most relaxing and scenic ways to experience coastal Turkey.
Guided Wildlife Tours in Turkey
Turkey sits at the intersection of three major migration flyways, making it one of Europe’s most rewarding wildlife destinations. The best viewing season runs from March to October.
Turkey Photography Tours
Istanbul is one of the world’s great photography cities: layered light, Ottoman architecture, busy bazaars, and faces from dozens of cultures. Our photography tour is led by a local guide with deep knowledge of the city’s best angles and timing. Contact us to arrange a private Istanbul Photography Tour.
Turkey Family Tours and Holiday Packages
Our family packages are designed for travelers with children or grandchildren. All itineraries are fully escorted with guaranteed departures, family-friendly pacing, and age-appropriate site visits.
Cappadocia Guided Tours
Cappadocia’s local transport network is limited, which makes a guided package the smartest way to experience the region. A 4 to 7-day escorted tour ensures you reach the key sites (Goreme Open Air Museum, underground cities, valley hikes, and balloon flights) without logistical stress.

Why Choose Turkey for Your Next Trip
Turkey sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and that position has shaped it across nine thousand years of human history. The Hittites, Hellenes, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans all left their mark here. Istanbul is the only city in the world to have served as capital of two great empires, first the Byzantine and then the Ottoman. Anatolia became a crossroads of peoples, cultures, and beliefs, where Christianity flourished and where the Seljuks and Ottomans gave Islam some of its most magnificent architecture. Add breathtaking natural landscapes, a world-renowned cuisine, and some of the most competitive hotel prices in Europe, and the appeal becomes obvious.
World-Class Accommodation at Accessible Prices
Turkey has some of the finest boutique and luxury hotels in the world. Intense competition among travel providers means that 4-star and 5-star accommodation is available at rates significantly lower than in Western Europe or the United States.
Thousands of Historical Sites
Human settlement in Turkey stretches back at least 25,000 years. The Hittites, Hellenes, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans all built here, leaving behind an extraordinary density of historical sites, including 21 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Outdoor Activities and Adventure
With nearly 8,400 km of coastline, Turkey is a paradise for water sports and sailing. Hiking, rock climbing, hot air ballooning over Cappadocia, mountaineering, white water rafting, cycling, and skiing in the eastern ranges are all well-established activities.
Turkish Cuisine
Turkish cuisine is consistently ranked among the world’s finest. From a full Turkish breakfast spread to grilled meats by the Bosphorus, from street-side baklava to a slow meze dinner with Turkish tea or raki, the food experience in Turkey is central to the trip itself.
Nightlife and Entertainment
Istanbul, Kusadasi, Bodrum, Antalya, and Marmaris all offer vibrant evening options. Turkish culture places high value on long, social meals with good food, live music, and conversation. The meyhane experience, with raki and meze, is something every visitor should try at least once.
Beaches and the Turquoise Coast
The Mediterranean climate gives southern Turkey almost six months of summer. The Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines offer clear, clean water and sandy beaches. A Blue Voyage by gulet is the most popular way to experience the coast at a leisurely pace.
Shopping: Carpets, Ceramics, and Spices
Authentic handmade carpets, kilims, Iznik ceramics, spices, and leather goods are among the most popular purchases for visitors. Shopping in Turkey is genuinely rewarding if you have a local guide who knows where quality and fair pricing meet.
Safety for Tourists in 2026
Turkey is one of the world’s most visited countries, and the main tourist destinations (Istanbul, Cappadocia, the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts) continue to welcome millions of international visitors each year. Eskapas monitors conditions on an ongoing basis. All our tours for 2026 and 2027 are operating as scheduled, and our guests travel with confidence across all our destinations.
