This holiday keeps you in one beach hotel in Bodrum for thirteen nights, with breakfast and dinner every day, and mixes lazy beach days with a handful of guided excursions. It suits travellers who want a proper Aegean seaside break but do not want to miss Turkey's two most famous sights inland: Ephesus and Pamukkale.
Three outings are included. A traditional hamam session on day two – scrub, foam massage and a glass of tea afterwards – sets the holiday pace. A short drive takes you to a mountain village above Bodrum to see rural life, visit the teahouse and local homes, taste home cooking and watch village women weave kilims. Two long guided day trips go to Ephesus, with the House of the Virgin Mary and a breakfast stop by Lake Bafa, and to Pamukkale, where you walk on the white travertine terraces and explore Hierapolis.
The remaining days are yours. Bodrum offers the castle of St Peter and its Museum of Underwater Archaeology, the remains of ancient Halicarnassus and the Mausoleum, a lively marina and beaches such as Bitez and Gümbet. Optional extras can be booked on the spot: a Dalyan day with the rock tombs of Kaunos and turtle beach, a boat trip with lunch on board, a Turkish night, an off-road jeep safari and scuba diving.
Airport transfers, hotel room taxes and the entrances for the included tours are covered; flights, lunches and the optional programmes are paid separately.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
