About this trip
Five days covering three of Turkey's biggest draws, starting and ending in Istanbul with a flight down to Izmir to begin.
You'll walk through the ancient city of Ephesus, see the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, then head to Cappadocia for its fairy chimney landscape, staying a night in a cave hotel.
It's a fast, guided run through history and geology rather than a slow explore, well suited if your time in Turkey is limited but you want the highlights covered properly.
