Exclusive Signature Group and Private Itineraries Lead the Way for Active Exploration in Turkey
Culinary Journeys with a Purpose
The trend of culinary tourism continues to rise, with travelers yearning for deeper connections to local culture through food. In 2025, the focus is on hands-on experiences – learning to prepare traditional dishes, exploring local markets, and connecting with the stories behind regional recipes.
Turkey’s rich culinary heritage offers endless opportunities for immersive food journeys. From the vibrant spice bazaars of Istanbul to the olive groves of the Aegean and the ancient recipes of Southeastern Anatolia, the country is a paradise for food enthusiasts. What sets Turkey apart as a standout destination for purposeful culinary travel is the integration of sustainable practices and the preservation of endangered recipes.
One of Roots Adventure Travel’s Signature Group Itineraries, “Taste of Turkey,” is an 8-day journey that takes food lovers to Istanbul, Mardin, Izmir, and Bodrum. This trip combines hiking and biking with hands-on culinary workshops, allowing travelers to explore Turkey’s diverse culinary heritage, from street food to ancient recipes.
Highlands Adventure Escapes
In 2025, adventure travel is evolving to include a greater emphasis on incorporating relaxation, comfort, and accessibility. Travelers are seeking the thrill of exploring remote landscapes with elements of pause, relaxation, and recalibration. To cater to this trend, the focus is on making outdoor adventure pursuits – from mountain biking and hiking to kayaking, rafting, and climbing – accessible by removing both physical and attitudinal barriers.
One of Roots Adventure Travel’s top private trips, “Black Sea Highlands – Hike, Bike, Glamp,” is perfect for travelers looking for untouched landscapes. This immersive experience includes hiking, biking, and luxury glamping in one of Turkey’s most breathtaking locales, the verdant highlands of the Black Sea region.
Empowered Female Travel
The demand for curated experiences that provide connection, empowerment, and a sense of safety is on the rise among female travelers. As a result, women-only trips are becoming increasingly popular, offering opportunities for camaraderie, shared adventures, and cultural immersion.
Turkey’s cultural richness and welcoming environment make it an ideal destination for women-centered travel. From exploring Anatolia’s vibrant villages to participating in craft workshops led by local artisans, women travelers can find transformative experiences that foster meaningful connections.
One of Roots Adventure Travel’s Signature Group Itineraries, “Women’s Active Journey through Anatolia,” is a women-only trip that invites participants to hike, bike, and explore the cultural heart of Anatolia. This trip fosters community and connection through shared experiences in vibrant local settings.
Glamping Meets Adventure
In 2025, “noctourism” – a combination of “nocturnal” and “tourism” – is gaining popularity among travelers. This trend encompasses nighttime travel experiences and offers a connection to nature and the wider world. Roots Adventure Travel has incorporated this trend into their Signature Itinerary, “Anatolian Highlands – Hike and Glamp.” This 6-day journey takes adventure seekers through the Aladağlar Mountains and Cappadocia, combining challenging hikes with luxurious glamping under the stars.
Land and Sea Hyper-Personalized Private Adventures
Travelers in 2025 are seeking variety in how they explore destinations, blending different modes of transport to create dynamic and exciting itineraries. The combination of biking, hiking, and sailing in one itinerary is becoming increasingly popular, as it offers a diverse range of activities and culture in a shorter timeframe. Destinations that offer a connection to the land and its people without venturing far into remote terrain are important in trip planning.
Turkey’s diverse geography allows for multi-modal adventures, offering travelers the chance to explore its mountains, coastlines, and historical sites in unique ways. Imagine hiking rugged trails, gliding through turquoise waters on a traditional gulet, and
