Spring is the best time to visit Turkey. At the conclusion of our Middle East tour and Dig in 2010, Archaeological Diggings is planning a tour of Turkey. Spend 10 days visiting the ancient and not-so-ancient sites. The tour will be escorted by Archaeological Diggings managing editor Michael Browning. Join us for our Middle East tour, archaeological dig and tour of Turkey, or just join us for Turkey.
