James and Oliver Phelps met up with their Harry Potter co-star Natalia Tena during a trip to Turkey for their Fantastic Friends travel show.
The actors shared several snaps from the show in which they are seen traveling to different destinations where they meet up with a former co-star or friend who acts as their tour guide.

Co-stars: James and Oliver Phelps met up with their Harry Potter co-star Natalia Tena during a trip to Turkey for their Fantastic Friends travel show.
In one image from the trip, the couple dressed in white robes and large hats in what appeared to be preparation for a whirling dervish ceremony.
Whirling dervish ceremonies began as a form of meditation and originated among certain Sufi groups (a body of religious practice found in Sunni Islam).
The dancers fast for several hours before the ceremony before moving in rhythmic patterns to the music.
James also shared a photo of himself naked in what looked like a wooden spa while a man nearby was holding a large washcloth.

Alongside the post, James wrote: ‘Turkey you’ve been amazing! Had a great time filming a new episode of @FantasticFriends with the always amazing @nattenlady.
“The food, the scenery and the warm welcome from the people (especially in the east of the country) made it a truly memorable moment.”
