A 20-day small-group journey across Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia, blending ancient sites and striking landscapes with local walks, cooking experiences, and authentic cultural encounters from Istanbul to Yerevan. Stay in small, locally run hotels or pensions (with larger city hotels at the start and finish).
