10 days
September 2027
This program moves across three regions of Turkey, beginning in Istanbul, continuing into Cappadocia, and settling along the coast in Kaş.
The experience is structured but not rushed. Each location offers a different perspective of the country, supported by local guides, shared meals, and time to move at your own pace.
The final portion of the trip is based in a private villa, where the group settles into a slower rhythm and experiences daily life on the Mediterranean.
Every excursion is led by a licensed, English-speaking guide with deep knowledge of Lycian history and archaeology. They don't just narrate. They contextualize.
Private transfers from Dalaman Airport, plus all other transportation for the trip including national flights. Coastal roads, mountain passes, ancient harbors. Gaze on the views from a luxury van.
All trips are packed with Ancient history, Archaeology, Local culture, Nature and a Variety of Sports. Diving, Boat Tours, SUP & Kayaking. Customized to your itinerary.
Turkish language and cultural classes with Jordan and Ece. Cooking with Hatice, you'll learn how to make stuffed grape leaves. Market visits in town to watch the live haggling. You don't observe the culture. You live it!
A private three-bedroom villa with two and a half baths, overlooking the Mediterranean. Pool, terraces, gardens, and a long table for shared dinners. The villa is cleaned daily, beds are made, and your laundry is washed and folded.
Homemade Turkish breakfasts every morning by Hatice. Picnic packed, traditional sit down or casual street food lunches on excursion days. Group dinners at the villa most evenings, with select nights out at local restaurants and a dinner on the beach.
Built in 1998, on the same prepery. Includes wifi, AC and easy access to town. Watch the sunrise over the mountains or sunset behind the islands. Every room looks out to the sea or the garden. The space is large enough for six guests to have privacy and open enough for the group to come together naturally with a large outdoor seating area. The villa includes upstairs and downstairs accommodations to suit different needs and preferences within the group. Ensuite on the first floor and upstairs are two other rooms sharing a bathroom.
This villa is home
and we invite you here
this summer to experience
living like a local in Kaş.
Jordan is an ocean engineer and expedition traveler whose life has revolved around water and exploration. He has crossed the Atlantic twice, worked aboard ships in Alaska, guided diving trips along the Turkish coast, and spent much of his adult life moving between mountains and sea. Kaş has remained a constant throughout those travels. Through Likya Scholars, Jordan shares the place that first sparked his curiosity about the world and he is excited to share his experiences with you starting with Turkish culture and history.
Ece studied biology and completed her master’s degree in Berlin before returning to the coast she grew up visiting as a child. Today she lives in Kaş and is now works in tourism. Ece tries learn more everyday about the history and region so she can share this information with others. She is naturally warm and thoughtful, and has a gift for bringing people together. For guests, Ece often becomes the bridge into daily life in town introducing the people, places, and small moments that make Kaş feel like home.
The group stays in a combination of boutique hotels and a private villa.
In Istanbul and Cappadocia, accommodations are centrally located, allowing for easy access to daily activities.
In Kaş, the group stays together in a private villa overlooking the Mediterranean, where the final portion of the trip is based.
All transportation and activities are organized for your convenience.
This experience is designed for a small group traveling together across Turkey with consistent support throughout.
The program is hosted and guided across all locations, with local female guides and partners included where possible.
The structure allows for shared experiences while still leaving space for individual time and exploration.
