Highlights of the Istanbul & Antalya 7-Day Holiday

Experience Istanbul and Antalya on a fully private tour with your own licensed guide, private vehicle and flexible pace. Choose your own departure date and enjoy each site — from Hagia Sophia to the Pamukkale travertines — with a programme shaped around you.

Combine the imperial city of Istanbul with the sunny Mediterranean coast on this seven-day, six-night journey through history, culture and natural beauty. In Istanbul you explore the heart of two empires in Sultanahmet — the soaring Hagia Sophia, the elegant Blue Mosque, the ancient Hippodrome, the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar and the opulent Topkapı Palace. You sail to the car-free island of Büyükada in the Princes' Islands, browse the fragrant Spice Bazaar and glide along the Bosphorus on a scenic cruise between Europe and Asia.

A short flight then carries you south to Antalya, where turquoise sea meets ancient heritage. You discover the old town of Kaleiçi with Hadrian's Gate and the Fluted Minaret, enjoy the panorama over Konyaaltı beach and visit the beautiful Düden and Kurşunlu waterfalls set in pine forest. The grand finale is Pamukkale, the "Cotton Castle", where you walk the snow-white travertines and explore the Roman spa city of Hierapolis. With hotels, daily breakfasts, guided tours, entrance fees and transfers included, this well-balanced package captures the best of Türkiye in a single week.
