About this trip
Ten days across Turkey, moving from Istanbul's old city through the ruins and thermal terraces of the west coast, before finishing among the rock landscapes of Cappadocia.
It's a small-group tour with internal flights, transfers and hotels sorted for you, so the travel between regions is straightforward and the focus stays on what you're seeing.
A solid option if you want the country's headline sights covered in one trip without organising the logistics yourself.
What you'll do
- Explore Istanbul's historic old city
- Walk the ancient ruins of Ephesus
- Base yourself in Kusadasi on the Aegean coast
- See the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale
- Take in the rock formations and valleys of Cappadocia
- Domestic flights and transfers between regions are included
- Hotels are higher-end rather than budget
- Partially guided, so some sections you'll explore with more independence
Worth it if you're a first-timer who doesn't mind early starts and heavy walking. Think twice if you're over 70, value downtime, or dislike commercial shop visits.
- Logistics handled flawlessly across complex itinerary; airport transfers and guides consistently excellent.
- Days run 5 AM to 8 PM with minimal free time; extensive walking unsuitable for older travellers.
- Airport pickup service unreliable; some drivers unresponsive, requiring multiple calls to organizer.
- Multiple commercial shop visits included; some duplication between days, though guides and hotels consistently good.
