About this trip
Ten days across five of Turkey's best-known destinations, moving from the mosques and markets of Istanbul to the volcanic landscapes of Cappadocia, then on to the coast at Antalya before finishing with Pamukkale's terraces and the ruins of Ephesus.
This is a small-group tour with domestic flights and transfers handled for you, staying in comfortable, higher-end accommodation throughout.
The pace is steady rather than slow — two days each in Istanbul and Cappadocia to take in the main sights, then a flight south to continue overland through Pamukkale and Ephesus.
What you'll do
- Take in the highlights of Istanbul over two days
- Explore Cappadocia's landscapes and sights over two days
- Fly from Cappadocia to Antalya
- Visit the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale
- See the ancient ruins of Ephesus
- Moderate pace with a domestic flight partway through the trip
- Partially guided, so some parts of the day are your own
- Suits families and small groups travelling together
Worth it if you want seamless logistics, excellent guides, and authentic small hotels. Think twice if you need guaranteed early breakfasts or have luggage packing flexibility issues.
- Guides consistently excellent and patient; Rose in Cappadocia specifically outstanding. All transfers punctual and professional.
- Small, authentic, clean hotels in excellent locations throughout. Real added value beyond standard tour accommodation.
- Early morning departures mean included breakfasts often unavailable. Lunch not served until mid-to-late afternoon on some days.
- Luggage limit 15kg on all flights. Communicated late in the process; pack considerably lighter than home expectations.
