Aegean Coast Holidays

With links to the Trojan War and scattering of some of the finest Greco-Roman remains of the Mediterranean, Turkey’s Aegean coastline is a region of deep historical importance. Here, in ancient times, Greek colonists settled and Croesus ruled his mighty Lydian empire, Roman trading cities flourished and invaders came and conquered. Driving south from Istanbul, start in Assos – one of Turkey’s hidden gems – and visit the complex archaeological remains of Homer’s Troy. Following the coast, head inland to Sardis, capital of Lydia, or keep to the Aegean to explore Roman Pergamon and its spectacular theatre. No trip here is complete though without a visit to Ephesus. This perfectly preserved Greco-Roman city is a delight and can be combined with the charming hill village of Sirince. With our knowledge and experience we can help to create a unique holiday to the Aegean coast that is tailored exactly to your requirements.
