İstanbul, Turkey
This trip runs all year round. Turkey is in a temperate zone and also geologically very diverse. For example, while it snows in the Cappadocia area, it may be spring like in İstanbul. Both locations promise many things to see and to do. We zipped this trip into 4 nights. We strongly recommend extending your Istanbul an Cappadocia tour a day or two, if you have the time.
This trip is ideal for those with very limited time to travel and wish to see more than İstanbul. Our former guests who have experienced Istanbul & Cappadocia Tour, loved the diversity and the time efficiency and the smoothness of the way we deliver the trip.

Welcome to the first Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Turkey, located in the very heart of the city of Istanbul.

Taskonaklar was built with respect to this nature and history. Every stone, every arch, every old chimney was preserved while Taskonaklar was brought to life. That’s why not one room is similar to another and each room has its own character, where simplicity is blended with comfort.

After a remarkable sailing trip on a gulet through the Dodecanese Islands in 2018, we knew we would ask Alper, Liliana and their team to help us plan a week on land in Turkey in May 2023. We prefer to use in-country tour operators because they know their culture, history and foods best. Hike'n Sail are top-notch in this arena. They've been doing this for years, they care about their clients, and they love Turkey and all it has to offer. The result is a series of unique experiences, delicious meals, stellar guides (truly, these folks are walking encyclopedias of history and culture) and skilled drivers. And the best thing is, all the people you meet are fun, personable, and funny, so you wake up every day, eager to spend more time with them. Our photos should give a few quick glimpses of why you should want to visit Turkey. It has been the crossroads of empires for thousands of years so the culture and history are deep and rich. It has a diversity of landscapes and seascapes that provide opportunities for hiking and sailing unmatched anywhere else: from mosques to fairy chimneys, from Hittite ruins to Roman and Greek ones, from dry arid landscapes to lush hillside villages. And the food! You won't come away hungry. We want to return to Turkey, and when we do, our first contact will be with Alper and Liliana. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Jeanne NewmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alper led an amazing trip to Turkey for my family and another family Our group had people with. Any different ages and interests. Amazingly, Alper made each of us feel like he planned the trip just for us. I have traveled many places and have had many guides, but none as excellent as Alper.Posted on Google Suad KUTLUGTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Few years back we had a wonderful time with Hike and Sail in Istanbul. It was a full day in Istanbul sightseeing and food tasting. Alper, is a well educated professional guide that knows his city, its culture and history. He is proud of what he is doing and it shows. Did I tell you that he is also a foodie, an expert on Turkish flora and he has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this company. We are looking forward to our post pandemic adventures with him. Bon Voyage :)Posted on Google liliana riosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Traveling with Hike'n Sail is the best way to experience Turkey. The sailing tours combined with hiking are my favorite, we got to spend the most wonderful time on a gullet going through amazing coves enjoying the beautiful turquoise waters. Alper is very knowledgeable and fun, without doubt the best trip ever!Posted on Google Pauline KuklisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I along with some friends did food and wine adventure 1 with Alper last year and loved it. We were hoping to do food and wine adventure 2 this year but will have to postpone until it is safe to travel. We had a great time with Alper. He is very passionate about travel and is incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, food and wine of Turkey. He also has incredible knowledge of wild flowers. We were a little early in the season when we went but he still managed to find things we didn't even see. If you are at all interested in visiting Turkey, and it is a great place to visit, then Alper is the best person possible to show it to you.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 7 reviews
