Istanbul 2 Nights, Antalya 2 Nights, Cappadocia 2 Nights & Izmir 2 Nights Group Tour – 8 Nights 9 Days with Domestic Flights is a small-group multi-day tour (8 nights 9 days) visiting Istanbul, Antalya, Cappadocia and Izmir. Prices start from €1,193 per person.
The grand tour of Turkey in one 8-night group tour: Istanbul, Antalya, Cappadocia and Izmir. From Istanbul, the imperial city on two continents, domestic flights that are already included take you to the Aegean, the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia and the Mediterranean Riviera. You stay in hand-picked hotels of your chosen category, are met at every airport and join small group excursions led by a professional English-speaking guide – the highlights of the whole country without any planning stress.
The historic peninsula of Sultanahmet is the heart of old Constantinople: Hagia Sophia, built by Emperor Justinian in 537 and for almost a thousand years the largest church in the world, the Blue Mosque with more than 20,000 hand-painted İznik tiles, the Hippodrome with its Egyptian obelisk and Topkapı Palace, from where the Ottoman sultans ruled an empire on three continents. The Grand Bazaar, with some 4,000 shops under its vaulted roofs, is one of the oldest covered markets in the world.
In Kaleiçi, the historic walled quarter of Antalya, cobbled lanes lead past restored Ottoman mansions to Hadrian's Gate, built in honour of the Roman emperor in 130 AD, the Clock Tower and the fluted Yivli Minaret, the symbol of the city. The Lower Düden Waterfall pours straight off the cliffs into the sea, and a boat trip along the coast shows you the old Roman harbour and the Falez cliffs from the water.
A cruise on the Bosphorus is the best way to understand Istanbul: the strait between Europe and Asia is lined with Ottoman palaces such as Dolmabahçe and Beylerbeyi, the baroque Ortaköy Mosque, the Rumeli Fortress built by Mehmed the Conqueror and elegant wooden waterside mansions called yalı. Before the boat trip you visit the Spice Bazaar, built in 1664 and still full of spices, teas and Turkish delight.
In the north of the region you climb to the viewpoint of Uçhisar Castle, the tallest rock citadel of Cappadocia, and step inside the Göreme Open-Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose rock-cut churches such as the Dark Church preserve vivid Byzantine frescoes. The mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys of Paşabağ (Monks Valley), the animal-shaped rocks of Devrent (Imagination Valley) and the pottery town of Avanos on the Red River complete the day.
Ephesus was the capital of Roman Asia and one of the largest cities of the ancient world: the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre and the marble Curetes Street are among the finest Roman monuments anywhere. The tour also visits the House of the Virgin Mary, the Temple of Artemis – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – and the wine village of Şirince with its old Greek stone houses.
