Tour overview

Embark on a 15-day journey tracing the wild beauty and rich history of Turkey’s northern frontier, from the bustling metropolis of Istanbul to the soaring heights of Mount Ararat in Ağrı. You’ll traverse seaside towns, verdant valleys, remote highlands and ancient ruins—sampling Ottoman architecture in Safranbolu, Black Sea cuisine in Amasra, the wild tea plantations of Rize and the alpine meadows of Ayder. Each day brings a new landscape and culture, from traditional villages perched on forested slopes to centuries-old monasteries carved into mountainsides. This carefully paced itinerary balances active exploration—hiking in the Fırtına Valley, walking the walls of Kars— with moments of relaxation along the Bosphorus and Black Sea coasts.

Highlights

Explore iconic landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. Stroll through the Grand Bazaar, enjoy a Bosphorus cruise, and savor Turkish cuisine in local eateries.

Amasra: Fresh Black Sea anchovies tasting; seaside castle and panoramic hilltop views.
Sinop: Visit the ancient Sinop Fortress and enjoy panoramic views of the Black Sea.

Görele & Kuşköy: Hear the legendary “whistled language” on the high cliffs above the sea.
Trabzon & Sümela Monastery: Marvel at the cliff-hanging Greek Orthodox monastery, hidden in lush forest.
Rize & Fırtına Valley: Tea plantation tour; white-water rafting on the Fırtına River.
Çamlıhemşin & Ayder: Hike alpine plateaus carpeted with wildflowers; soak in natural hot springs. Hopa: Authentic Laz village visit; watch traditional horon folk dance.
Kars: Walk through the ghostly ruins of Ani (UNESCO site); sample local harsh flavors like Gruyère-style cheese. Doğubeyazıt & Ağrı : Tour the fairytale Ishak Paşa Palace; gaze up at Mount Ararat’s snowy summit.
