Turkey

Just in time for International Women’s Day, we’re bringing you four new Women’s Expeditions.

Last summer, I went on an Adventure Cruise around the Greek Islands and Turkey and honestly can’t imagine experiencing these exotic isles at any other time of year.

Well, I was well and truly blown away by how open-minded and friendly the locals are, and the number of incredible and often overlooked attractions.

While some of the best views in Cappadocia are from the basket of a hot air balloon, here are 7 you can see with your feet firmly planted on the ground.

As we stepped off the bus, the smell of salty ocean hit my nose. In all my research about Gallipoli and the conflicts of World War I, I had forgotten that such a significant battle unfolded on a stretch of stunning Turkish coastline.

Pamukkale in real life was everything I imagined and more. I completely understand why it’s Turkey’s most popular attraction.

Situated in the Izmir province of western Turkey, Desen Hali is a co-operative women’s workshop that aims to empower women by teaching them the art of carpet making.

The Intrepid Foundation supports more than 50 local, grassroots projects from around the world, here’s how you can visit some of them.

There are a lot of things we fight for here at Intrepid: sustainable tourism, ditching plastic bags, and putting an end to animal cruelty. But gender equality and female empowerment are particularly close to our hearts.
