8 nights across Istanbul, Cappadocia and more, with 3-star hotels and transfers, return flights included.
Istanbul opens this 8-night route through Istanbul, Cappadocia and Antalya, pairing the Blue Mosque with the contrasts of each stop. Travellers move city to city on a set schedule, with 3-star hotels at every halt and group transfers handling the connections.
Things to do in Istanbul
The plan includes 3 guided activities — the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul; the fairy-chimney valleys and Goreme Open-Air Museum in Cappadocia; the old harbour of Kaleici and Duden Waterfalls in Antalya. Daily breakfast is included, and the 9-day schedule leaves room to walk the old quarters, shop, and sit down for a meal rather than rushing between tickets.
