Mythic Travel invites you to the place where the great empires were built: the Hittites, the Assyrians, the Phrygians, the Lydians, the Lycians, the Hellenes, the Romans and the Ottomans. All the world's relgions have been experienced in Turkey. Ancient earth goddesses were worshipped, Jews found haven here during the Inquisition and later pogroms. Mary spent the last years of her life in Turkey and Paul preached early Christianity here. Rumi founded the mystical Sufi order in Konya and is buried there. Today, Islam is the predominant religion, but Turkey is a secular state, not a theocracy and people are free to choose their religious practice.

On Mary and the Divine Feminine, you will have the rare opportunity to visit places purported to have been sacred to the Virgin Mary and to attend the festivities in Ephesus which celebrate her Assumption.

If your idea of fun is to meet archaeologists at active digs, relive ancient legends and engage with local residents, then join A Dip Into the Past.

Celebrate the birthday of Rumi, the great Sufi poet during the season of the winter solstice with Sufi Solstice.

Trace the 500 year history of Turkey's Jewish population and visit some of the oldest synagogues in the world on Jewish Life.

Whichever itinerary you choose, your Mythic Travel tour will take you from the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara to the volcanic windswept desert plains of Cappadocia and the rocky Aegean coast.
