Overview

Turkey rewards a slower pace than most first-time itineraries give it — Istanbul alone deserves two full days between the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, and Cappadocia's fairy chimneys are worth an early sunrise even if you skip the hot-air balloon add-on. We route travellers Istanbul-Cappadocia-Pamukkale-Istanbul, keeping the domestic flights to a minimum.

Trip Highlights

  • Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, Istanbul
  • Bosphorus cruise between two continents
  • Cappadocia's fairy chimneys, with an optional sunrise balloon ride
  • Pamukkale's white travertine terraces
  • Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar shopping
