throughout Turkey and regular treks and day excursions along the coasts and
mountains traveresed by the Lycian Way. This latter area is archaelogically
also one of Turkey's richest regions, some sites can only be conveniently
reached by sea. A gulet cruise allows access to these as well as to some
magnificent unspoilt beaches. Scheduled Trips

interest of both regions. The trek finishes in Van where there is a day to
relax by the beautiful Van lake.Sample Trip Details

and know they acclimatise well. As with the previous Taurus - Ararat programme
it includes visits to Istanbul and Van. Ararat Details
Note: Ararat requires the use of crampons and walking poles but previous
experience in the use of them is not essential. In fact Ararat is an excellent
training mountain for those interested in going on to higher and more demanding
summits such as Elbrus, Peak Lenin or Kilimanjaro. - Cappadocia This trip is designed as a short break that can be taken at any time of year.
It can even be done in winter on snow shoes! Cappadocia

scenery of Cappadocia with some more demanding camping-based trekking in the
Taurus. The trek in the Taurus is fully mule supported and involves walking
from one permanent campsite to another. Details
- Yacht and Trek This combines the luxury of life on a yacht (a journey referred to as the
Blue Cruise or Blue Voyage) with short (generally half day) treks on beautiful
coastal paths visiting ancient ruins, churches and other sights of interest
along the way. Plenty of time to relax and or swim. Yacht and Trek, Cappadocia, Yacht and Trek.
