Black Sea

The Black Sea in southeastern Europe has an ancient history as a prime trading route between east and west. Bordered by Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, and Georgia, it has a notable recent history as well -- the disputed Crimea region is located here. It's also been the scene of the recent Sochi Olympics and the Yalta Conference at the end of World War II. Dotted with resorts and bearing distinct eastern flavors, the Black Sea has become prime cruising territory, highlighted by Turkey's Istanbul (which sits at its entrance); Odessa, Ukraine; and Yalta and Sevastapol on the Crimean Peninsula.

Wonderful tour
Treasures of Turkey was a wonderful mixture of interesting cities, historic sites, seaside settings on the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea. Our guide, Oguz Atici, was knowledgeable and clearly loved this history and culture of his country. We covered nearly 2000 miles in a comfortable bus with an unbeatable driver. This is a tough time for Turkey but I wish the best for this beautiful and welcoming country.

Everything was superior
I could not have guessed how great this tour was before going. Everything was superior at an unbelievable low cost. Turkey is absolutely safe and the people are friendly. Have no fears and do this tour. Fahti, our guide, was AWESOME.

Fantastic Trip
This tour was fantastic and our tour guide Fahti (spelling) was out of the world. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond. On the first day, another guest had a problem with seating. (it was the guest's problem..not the tour guides) and Fahti was able to handle the complaint. To be fair, the guest was very unkind to the Fahti, but Fahti turned it around. The tour was beyond great!!! thanks..
