Cappadocia & Central Anatolia

Cappadocia & Central Anatolia holidays

The region of Cappadocia has a unique combination of natural beauty and man-made marvels. Known as fairy chimneys, the region’s rock formations were formed from volcanic rock that has been eroded by the elements over millions of years. Due to its isolated location and easily carved rock, early Christian settlers built many underground cities and rock churches in the region, which contain vivid and colourful frescoes. The Göreme National Park perhaps offers the best examples of these. The Unesco-listed ruins of the Hittite capital of Hattusa, near the small town of Bogazkale, date back to the Bronze Age. Rivals to the great pharaohs of Egypt, the Hittites founded the city in 1600 BC. The ruins and the vast number of clay and bronze tablets depicting everyday life which were discovered in the city offer archaeologists a fascinating insight into this lost civilisation

"The entire Ethiopian experience, coffee making in a small hut, sitting with Gelada baboons in the Simian Mountains, the churches of Lalibela, and the exciting participation in Timkat was an experience not to be missed.
Mrs Suzanne Vincent"

"We would recommend this holiday to anyone wanting to visit India.
Dr Leslie Wills"

"We had a marvellous time! Our driver Rarjed was brilliant at finding the animals and positioning the car just so. Seeing our first lion on the first day was so exciting. The view of the Masai Mara from Serena Mara lodge was an awe inspiring experience. Watching two male giraffes fighting was an unforgettable sight. As you can see it is impossible to pick the most inspirational moment, the whole trip was a dream come true."

"I had a wonderful trip to India. It surpassed all expectations. From start to finish it was a flawless execution. The organisation was superb at all levels.
Mr Digges"

Mrs Upton"

Mr Tony Dellow"

"Getting really close to the glaciers from the cruise ship was terrific.
Mr Richard Dobson"

Mrs Anne Blaseby"

"The birdwatching at Ambua and Karawari was world class. They have Joseph and Stephen at Ambua, and Chris at Karawari, who are THE experts in PNG, and are mentioned in the new bird book.
