Group Size
A very important feature of our Turkey journey is the limited group size, capped at just 12 travelers. This isn't simply a number; it's the key to unlocking the most intimate and authentic cultural experiences Turkey has to offer. Because we keep our groups small, we’re able to access exclusive visits, charming restaurants, and immersive local experiences that simply aren’t possible for larger tours. From private tastings to insider encounters with artisans and chefs, our group size opens doors.
Staying small also allows us to enjoy the warm hospitality of the boutique hotels and historic villas that host us along the way. And just as importantly, our limited footprint makes for a quieter, more personal pace with less impact on the communities we visit, ensuring the journey is more meaningful for both travelers and the people who welcome us.
Take this trip on a private basis, traveling exclusively with your immediate family, multi-generational family or group of friends.

Important Information About This Trip
Much of this journey takes place overland, including drives across the Anatolian plateau, through Cappadocia’s volcanic landscapes and along the Aegean coast near Urla. While some travel days involve longer transfers, traveling by road allows access to villages, wineries and smaller communities that are difficult to reach by air or rail. The itinerary is designed to balance these longer travel days with multi-night stays in Istanbul, Cappadocia and Urla, allowing time to explore each region in greater depth.
Mandatory Insurance
Since the areas we travel to are remote and wild (that's why we go there!), we require that all guests have, at minimum, medical evacuation insurance for this program. This is for the safety of all guests. We require that your chosen independent insurance plan includes at least $250,000 in medical evacuation coverage.
To protect your investment and to provide peace of mind while you travel, we also strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance. Plans may cover everything from medical treatment to trip cancellations and delays and lost luggage. Please contact our office if you would like more information about the medical evacuation and comprehensive travel insurance policies we offer by calling 800-543-8917.
