Turkey

Turkey offers a mesmerizing blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that bridges East and West. In Istanbul, wander through the grandeur of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque and lose yourself in the colors and aromas of the Grand Bazaar. Fly to Cappadocia to watch hundreds of hot-air balloons drift over its surreal landscape of caves and fairy chimneys. Discover Pamukkale, where gleaming white terraces of thermal pools cascade down the hillside, and explore the nearby ruins of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. After days of exploration, unwind on the Turquoise Coast—from Antalya to Bodrum or Fethiye—where crystal waters, golden beaches, and seaside cafés capture the relaxed rhythm of Mediterranean life.

Best Time to Visit
The best times to visit are April to June and September to October, when the weather is warm but comfortable for sightseeing and outdoor adventures. Summer (July–August) is ideal for beach holidays, while winter offers fewer crowds and mild weather in the south.

Recommended Duration
A journey of 8 to 10 days allows travelers to experience Istanbul, Cappadocia, and either Pamukkale or Ephesus. With 12 to 14 days, you can enjoy a complete itinerary—combining cultural treasures, ancient history, and time to relax along Turkey’s stunning Mediterranean coast.
