The diverse culture and history of Turkey and its people provide an absorbing trip with memorable highlights aplenty.
We spend 14 nights in hotels on this highlight-packed adventure in Turkey. We have carefully selected the accommodation to ensure we contribute to the local economy and provide clean, welcoming places to stay. The normal accommodations used on this trip are found on the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are a few of the standout places we stay.
Canakkale: Cura Hotel (night 2)
There’s a modern elegance to the Cura, where a focus on design and a warm welcome provide an excellent spot to relax in Canakkale. It’s well located, too, around a 10-minute walk from the seafront restaurants.
Ayvalik: Bacacan Hotel (night 3)
Right by the Aegean Sea, this 56-room hotel has a restaurant serving both international and Turkish cuisines, including Ayvalik vegetable dishes. Further relaxation is found in the garden or roof bar, plus there’s an indoor swimming pool and free-to-use gym, sauna and steam room.
Pamukkale: Melrose House Hotel (night 6)
There’s a rustic style to the Melrose House Hotel, with stone walls, wooden beams and hanging foliage all part of the décor. Bring your swimwear for a pool splash and relax with the group over a nightcap at the bar.
