Article printed September 2001 STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES ON A TURKISH ROSE TOUR Holidaymakers today demand a lot more from their breaks than just a few days at the beach. We not only want to visit new places, but experience new sensations and revitalise our lives! Hence the growth of niche holiday companies like Aroma Tours who offer the unusual and fascinating Turkish Rose Tour. This 13-day journey takes you through Turkey, delving into its rich aromatic and cultural heritage. The holiday begins in the exotic city of Istanbul with its mosques and aromatic spice markets. From there you fly to Cappadocia where you’ll explore the eerie underground dwellings that litter the moon-like landscape in the famous Goreme Valley. At first light, you travel into the countryside where you can revel in the sight and scent of field upon field of wonderfully fragrant roses. Here you discover that Turkey is home to the precious rose oil, Rosa Damascena. You’re even encouraged to pick your own basketful of blossoms before returning to the rose distillery where you can literally romp through mountains of rose petals and witness the creations of the oil. As well as seeing and experience new places and sensations, you’ll get to enjoy the soothing feel of a Turkish bath, learn about the colourful heritage of traditional carpets and feast on the delicacies of Turkish cuisine. The tour is accompanies by rose expert and Turkey enthusiast, Dr Peter Wilde, as well as Jim Llewellyn, owner of Aroma Tours. Accommodation ranges from quaint inns to lavish four- and five-start hotels. Media Enquiries: |
