Turkey Highlights and Crusing on the Mediterranean

Friday, September 12, 2014

A highlight of our Grand Sultan tour is touring around the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. However for those passengers enjoying our shorter Turkey Highlights tour, we recommend a 3 day or weeklong Gulet cruise.

A gulet (Turkish pronunciation: [ɡuˈlet]) is a traditional design of a two-masted or three-masted wooden sailing vessel (the most common design has two masts) from the southwestern coast of Turkey, particularly built in the coastal towns of Bodrum and Marmaris; although similar vessels can be found all around the eastern Mediterranean.

A great way to round out your Turkish adventure


Travel to Turkey on a journey of discovery

Friday, September 12, 2014

Grand Sultan tour of Turkey is our most popular tour. 

It is not just a tour but a journey of discovery designed for first time visitors to Turkey who wish to not only see the usual highlights but also go off the beaten track to see the real Turkey.

The tour covers:
  • fascinating and colourful Istanbul
  • the beautiful and moving battlefields of Gallipoli
  • legendary historical sites such as Troy and Ephesus
  • traditional villages and enchanting bays along the Turquoise Coast
  • the surreal landscapes and underground cities of Cappadocia
In addition, you can also choose to experience the Black Sea region, adorned with majestic mountains, lush foresets and experience something more off the beaten track. Be one of the few westerners to experience this region of Turkey and be welcomed by the locals to 'their country'.

Travelling into the east, you can experience archeological marvels of the east from ancient times. See the recently discovered Goktepe, beehive houses of Harran or Old Testament towns locked in time.

"Hi Hamit

Thank you so much for the photos. Was pleased to read you and Olga enjoyed your tour (of Italy) seeing how the other half travel!! I’m absolutely certain Ozturk Tours are MUCH better – it was a great trip Hamit. We saw so much, learnt so much, (ate so much), stayed in some truly picturesque beautiful towns – and we had lovely people to travel with. Damla was a wonderful guide, so knowledgeable. Thanks again Hamit and I would recommend your tour to anyone who wants to see Turkey.

Kind regards"
