Begin your Turkish adventure in the bustling resort town of Kuşadası, where a warm welcome and a relaxed evening set the tone for the week ahead. The following day, step back into antiquity at the world‑renowned archaeological site of Ephesus. Walk the marble streets past the Library of Celsus, the grand Roman theatre, and the remnants of the Temple of Artemis, one of the ancient wonders. After a traditional Turkish lunch, discover the artisanal heart of the region with a visit to a carpet‑weaving centre, then travel to the charming hillside village of Şirince. Its white‑washed houses, centuries‑old wine cellars, and fragrant fruit‑wine production offer a glimpse of Anatolian‑Greek heritage.
Mid‑week, the itinerary shifts to the surreal landscape of Pamukkale, famed for its gleaming white travertine terraces that cascade over the hillside like frozen waterfalls. A short walk leads to the ancient spa city of Hierapolis, where you can explore a well‑preserved Roman theatre, an expansive necropolis, and the Martyrium of St. Philip. A brief stop at a local textile factory showcases the region’s modern industry before a comfortable drive to the lively peninsula of Bodrum. In your free time you can visit the medieval Castle of St. Peter above the marina, now a museum of underwater archaeology.
Both hotels are booked on an all-inclusive basis – Panorama Hill in Kuşadası and Azka in Bodrum – so meals and local drinks are covered throughout, with lunches on the three guided days. The final days invite you to unwind on Bodrum’s sun‑kissed beaches or set sail on a full‑day boat cruise along the turquoise coastline. Anchor at the striking Black Island, where crystal‑clear waters invite swimming and snorkeling, while a leisurely lunch is served on deck. Whether you choose to explore local markets, indulge in a Turkish night, or simply soak up the Mediterranean sun, this tour blends iconic history, natural wonders, and relaxed seaside charm for an unforgettable summer getaway.

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!
