Archeological Tours

Antalya Living has teamed up with a well established travel company which is a member of of ASTO, the UK's Association of Specialist Turkish Tour Operators, and ASTA, the American Society of Travel Agents to offer you the chance to discover Turkey and explore some of the Ancient Wonders of the World, from Troy to Ephesus. We offer exceptional archaeological tours, escorted tours and luxurious gulet cruises.

Sail aboard a beautiful traditional gulet on an archaeological cruise along Turkey's turquoise coast, and enjoy total relaxation, beautiful food, and superb swimming - the perfect vacation. Or explore some of the finest historical sites in the world by land, retracing the route of Alexander the Great.

For the past 11 years a British archaeologist and documentary maker who set up the company after falling in love with Turkey after trekking there has been leading and organising exceptional archaeological tours and gulet cruises in Turkey, escorted by the finest experts.

A UK-based specialist travel operator, we provide a select number of vacations and holidays in Turkey - primarily gulet cruises - with a professional and above all personal touch. On our scheduled archaeological tours, we take only small groups (max 16 on land, 14 by sea) of like-minded people, travelling in an easy-going, friendly, and informal style.

Archaeological Tours

Below is our entire schedule of escorted land tours and gulet cruises. A number of our 2008 escorted archaeological tours in Turkey are already fully booked, so we recommend booking your places early!

By popular demand we are running our Alexander the Great land tour once again this spring, so not only can you experience an epic archaeological adventure but a breathtaking display of wildflowers as well. All the other scheduled tours are historical gulet cruises, of either 1 or 2 weeks duration.

Tour Guides

We have some fabulous guides leading archaeological tours for us this year. Dr. Michael Metcalfe has received rapturous praise on gulet cruises he has led for us previously. Alongside him are another two star turns, Dr. Jennifer Tobin, Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Dr. Nigel Spivey, a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge University.

Private Groups and Charters

As well as our scheduled archaeological tours, we also offer private gulet charters, group cultural holidays, and corporate vacations in Turkey.

If you have any questions about our escorted tours, would like more information or would like to book please don’t hesitate to contact us or fill out the contact form. Thank you.
