The name alone should be enough to get your attention, but Middle Earth Travel needs no help in the marketing department. This Turkey-based company was created by experienced tour guides with excellent taste (according to this Tolkien fan). They focus primarily on guided but provide self-guided and tailor-made options as well. They offer a good selection of routes along the Lycian Way and St. Paul Trail, some mountain and coastal hikes, but where they truly shine is their coverage of Cappadocia.
Review of Middle Earth Travel Website
The site for Middle Earth Travel provides all the basic info you’ll need to choose one of their trips but there are very few details about lodging. This is not a problem, however, because they provide tailor-made trips and you can alter lodging if you have any concerns. You can browse their trips by tour types: trekking, biking, cultural, mountain and photography. You can also search specifically for self-guided trips (there were only 4 at time of this review) and by location or trail.
