Few parts of Turkey change character as dramatically from one stop to the next as the east. A journey may move from the archaeological landscapes around Gobekli Tepe and Sanliurfa to the summit sanctuary of Mount Nemrut, then continue towards Lake Van, Ani, or the foothills of Mount Ararat. Our Eastern Turkey Tours are built around these contrasts, linking ancient sites, regional cities, mountain scenery, and places that are rarely included in a first time Turkey itinerary.

What to Expect on Eastern Turkey Tours
Distances are an important part of traveling through Eastern Turkey. Major archaeological sites and cities are spread across a large area, so some days involve substantial overland travel between sightseeing stops. Rather than treating these drives as empty transfer time, the routes often pass through changing landscapes, smaller towns, agricultural areas, and mountain regions that form part of the experience itself.
Multi-day tours of Eastern Turkey normally use different overnight bases as the itinerary progresses. Guided visits are mixed with meal stops, viewpoints, museums, markets, and time at archaeological sites. Some programs are relatively relaxed, while routes covering several provinces in a limited number of days naturally have a faster pace. Travelers should therefore compare the number of nights, daily distances, and included sites when choosing between different Eastern Turkey itineraries.
