A tale of two continents and fascinating culture

Cultures and continents collide and a country of immense history

Bridging two continents, rich in everything from history and culture to cuisine and natural beauty, Turkey presents a unique and diverse melting pot of characteristics and identities, making it a fascinating and rewarding travel destination. Nowhere showcases this more emphatically than Istanbul, Turkey’s most populous city, with a history dating back to the ancient Roman colony of Byzantium, yet with modern and forward-thinking ideals that perfectly present the Turkey of old and the Turkey of the present day.

While Istanbul regularly serves as the main point of entry for visitors to Turkey, beyond this majestic city, you’ll discover everything from the pristine coastline and mountainous landscapes to ancient ruins and heritage towns. Whether you choose to traverse the Turkish Riviera’s range of beaches and bays, marvel at the cone-shaped rock formations of Cappadocia or gain a flavour of ancient and authentic Turkey with a visit to the ruins of Ephesus or the charming streets of Alacati, Turkey will keep you spellbound.

We can arrange private tours with expert local guides to help you fully experience all of the wonders this fascinating country has to offer. Speak to one of our expert Travel Designers about your interests and let us create your perfect luxury trip.

A word from one of our experts

One of the World’s great cultural destinations - spanning two continents, there’s a richness and diversity to the culture that’s particularly alluring. For me, Istanbul is a fantastic city. Fiercely Turkish with a sprinkling of cosmopolitan glamour and without doubt some of the best food you’ve ever tasted.

Luxury accommodation in Turkey

There are many incredible places to stay in Turkey. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Bodrum

The Bodrum Edition
Blessed with a perfect position on the banks of the Turquoise Coast, this stylish boutique hotel of various levels appears to almost spill out onto a private beach, providing its guests with direct access to the sea. The sprawling levels feature all-encompassing terraces, manicured lawns and turquoise pools, shaded by over-arching olive trees, or trellises, dappled with bougainvillea and foliage. The focal point of the hotel, a grand structure of marble and glass, looks out over the grounds, boasting supreme vistas of the white stretch of sand below. Branching out from this building, the guestrooms, lofts and villas, linked by paths, draw on soft tones and light woods, as well as marble bathrooms, with gaping tubs, to create tranquil interiors. Most of the accommodation has views of the Aegean Sea, and upgraded suites encompass kitchens and patios, with plunge pools. Room service is available 24-hour, but it would be a shame not to experience the mix of dining possibilities. The hotel’s signature restaurant, BRAVA, is a Latin American haven, with al fresco seating, while Morena is Mediterranean focused, using local flavours for inspiration. If you’re up for a taste of Turkish brunch, the Kitchen at the Bodrum EDITION is all about mezze-style platter indulgence, before you head to the Beach Club for a cocktail or the Discetto, to party with the late-night DJs. Recovery after the revelry can be experienced at the on-site spa of candle-lit cream treatment rooms. Guests have access to a steam room, plunge pool, therapy baths, and a selection of therapeutic and beauty treatments. Alternatively, you can sweat it out in the gym, or seek refreshment in the infinity pool, enfolded by cabanas, or take to the salty waters for a paddle.

When to visit

Turkey is a great destination year-round, even in winter there are rewarding destinations to visit, such as Cappadocia with its beautiful snow-covered landscapes. The heat can become stifling during July and August, especially in Istanbul and inland. In some coastal areas, such as Bodrum, low season sees much of the tourism infrastructure close, meaning that April – October tends to cover the most rewarding period for holidays to Turkey.

Beach Breaks

April - June, October - November

Winter Magic
