Walk in the footsteps of ancient civilisations or eat your way through pomegranate season (or do both)

While a summer beach trip might not be on the cards for Turkey in November, there's a bazaar's worth of treasures to uncover around the rest of the country. Chase the sun with the Adriatic Sea at your side as you wander through the leftover monuments, pirate lairs and turtle habitats on the spectacular Lycian Way. Not keen on a trek this November? Immerse yourself in the regional wine, underground cities and natural wonders of Goreme. November is also a great time for foodies as the region starts its pomegranate season.
