Turkey: Cave Churches & Fairy Chimneys

Istanbul → Antalya 7 days Up to 18

About this trip

Seven days moving through Turkey by public transport, taking in the country's mix of historic mosques, Roman ruins, and the fairy chimneys and cave churches of Cappadocia.

This is a budget-focused trip — public buses, simple guesthouses, and a group setup that leaves room to meet other travellers and locals along the way.

It's a broad, sightseeing-heavy route rather than a slow one, built around the landmarks that make this part of Turkey distinctive, including a striking pink lake.

What you'll do

  • Explore Cappadocia's cave churches and fairy chimney landscapes
  • Walk through historic mosques
  • Wander ancient Roman streets
  • See a naturally pink lake
  • Travel between stops by public transport
  • Stay in budget guesthouses with fellow travellers
Good to know
  • Budget-style trip — expect public transport and simple accommodation rather than private transfers or upgraded stays
  • Sightseeing-paced with a full itinerary across the seven days
