Top Incentives in Turkey

 Go for a Turkish Wellness Experience

Immerse yourself in some Turkish spa culture and treat yourself and your group to a trip to a Turkish Hamman or traditional Turkish baths! Discover the respiratory and immune system benefits of the gorgeous hammans as you relax and feel the stress melt away. 

 

Visits to Turkish baths are experiences in themselves without the spa treatments – but why would you want to skip the spa treatment? Many of the Turkish bathhouses are architectural and historic wonders in their own rights, dating back hundreds of years, with one bath in Istanbul built in the 1400’s – definitely one of the top incentives in Turkey and worth a visit!

Attend a Sufi Whirling Dance Performance

The Tasting Room – Wine and Tapas bar in Cascais

Practised by the Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi Order, whirling dance is a traditional form of Turkish dance. Add some authentic Turkish culture to your incentive trip. Founded in the 13th century by the famous poet Rumi, the whirling dervishes are a bastion of Turkish history and culture that still prevails to this day and their dancing ceremony has even been designated by UNESCO as ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage’! Take in the dancing, the music and the peaceful meditation in an incentive that will ensnare all of the senses.
