Adatepe Holidays

A beautiful hillside village south of Istanbul and the Gallipoli Peninsula, Adatepe is quintessential Turkey where little has changed and time has stood still. Picturesque and quiet, this is the ideal place to relax and experience traditional Turkish village life, however, for the more active, Adatepe is within driving distance of some of the Aegean’s greatest treasures. Climb from the village to the age-old altar of Zeus for panoramic views over the Gulf of Edremit or visit the ancient Greek settlement of Assos, one of Turkey’s hidden gems, to see the beautiful Doric temple of Athena and have lunch by the pretty harbour. Further afield, head to the UNESCO protected ruins at Troy – one of the best known archaeological sites in the world and a must for anyone who has ever read Homer's epic the ‘Iliad’. Pettitts specialises in providing quality, tailor-made holidays and tours to Turkey.
