Explore Istanbul’s European and Asian sides on the Two Continents tour, with Beylerbeyi Palace, Camlica views and a cable car ride above the Golden Horn. Then fly to Cappadocia for the Red and Yellow Tours and a night in a cave or stone hotel.
Two nights in Kusadasi leave a full day for your own seaside plans before Ephesus. Walk the ancient streets, visit the House of Virgin Mary and see the Temple of Artemis remains before flying back to Istanbul. The listed guides, tickets and transfers are included, from your first airport welcome to the final hotel drop-off.
For Old City sights and Pamukkale as well as the Two Continents day, compare the 10-day Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus tour, which places the full free day in Istanbul rather than Kusadasi.
