See Troy, Ephesus and Pamukkale on the way from Istanbul to the Mediterranean, then finish your sightseeing in Cappadocia. This 14-day Turkey tour follows the western coast before flying inland, combining ancient cities with waterfalls, a boat trip and fairy-chimney valleys.
Four nights in Antalya include a free day, a city excursion and a separate tour of Perge, Aspendos, Side and Manavgat. In Cappadocia, spend two nights in a cave or stone hotel and explore the Red and Yellow tour routes. You also have a full free day in Istanbul at each end of the journey. With 13 hotel nights, domestic flights and listed road transfers arranged, the trip gives you eight guided sightseeing days and time to explore independently.
