Baku to the Bosphorus
Journey from the shores of the Caspian Sea to Constantinople; explore the mountains, monasteries and unique cultures and cuisine of the Caucasus. You will follow the routes of trade and conquest in the footsteps of Mongol, Persian and Ottoman armies to the borders of Byzantium. Discover ancient underground cities and Silk Road caravanserai and the contemporary tea fields and silk manufacture on this Silk Road to Istanbul.
"A stunning trip with an amazingly wide variety of experiences - one day walking in the Georgian mountains with unforgettable views and on another day swimming in the Black Sea; one day being the only people exploring an 11th century castle and on another battling through the crowds in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul . History, culture and modern politics are all brought vividly to life whilst surrounded by the amazing scenery of each of the four countries." David Wasley, Australia
