It was a great trip. Turkey itself is an amazing destination and honestly the variety of sights, smells, food and architecture really makes this trip amazing. Next time I'm back I hope to come in the summer and hit up the coast and one of the boat trips. Obviously Istanbul is a major highlight and Cappadocia really should be high on every traveller's bucket list. Turkey has not been on the travel radar recently so it's nice that the tourists are starting to come back!

It's been 3 weeks since our 10-day trip through Turkey and until now I kept thinking about it. Though I booked this trip 1 week before our intended travel, the trip was meticulously organized. One of the standout aspects of our trip was the impeccable communication from our tour operator, Kurt. Right from our initial inquiry, he was prompt, thorough, and incredibly helpful, ensuring all our questions were answered and our expectations were set. He provided us with a detailed itinerary well in advance, which allowed us to fully anticipate each day’s adventures. Throughout the trip, his support was always just a message away, making us feel secure and well-informed. Our accommodations were another highlight of the trip. Each hotel we stayed in was not only comfortable but also thoughtfully chosen for its location and amenities. Whether we were in bustling Istanbul or the serene landscapes of Cappadocia, the hotels provided a wonderful balance of luxury and local charm. Food is such an integral part of traveling, and Turkey did not disappoint. The tour guide's selection of dining options was superb. We enjoyed a rich array of authentic Turkish cuisine. The local recommendations were spot-on, allowing us to savor traditional dishes that truly enhanced our cultural immersion. Last but not the least is our local tour guide and our driver. Gamgam provided clear instructions, answered all our questions, and her insights made the experience all the more engaging. The transportation provided was seamless and reliable. All drivers were punctual and always willing to accommodate our needs. Overall, we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the beauty of Turkey!

Best places to start your Turkey tour
About 90% of our Turkey tours kick off from Istanbul, which makes perfect sense - it's literally where Europe meets Asia and has great flight connections from everywhere. While you can start from places like Fethiye or Kusadasi on the coast, Istanbul's mix of Byzantine and Ottoman history makes it an ideal first stop. Looking at our booking patterns, you'll want to lock in your trip about 3 months (99 days) ahead, especially if you're eyeing popular activities like those Cappadocia balloon rides. If you're watching your budget, early spring or late fall often have better deals, with daily costs running between $50-100 for comfortable accommodations and food. Getting around Istanbul is pretty straightforward with trams, ferries and buses to all the main sites like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, but our first-time visitors really appreciate having a local guide - especially for navigating the Grand Bazaar and learning about Turkish customs.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter in Turkey shows you a different side of this fascinating country. Our travelers love the 10-day cultural routes that begin in Istanbul before heading to Cappadocia, where snow adds extra magic to those famous fairy chimneys. The Turkish Breeze tour works particularly well in winter - you can explore Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace without the usual crowds, and those thermal pools at Pamukkale feel incredible when it's cool outside. Many routes include Ephesus, where our guides explain how this massive Roman city dealt with winter, from clever heating systems to covered walkways. Just bring some warm clothes for early starts, especially if you're planning that sunrise balloon ride over Cappadocia.

- Spring 2026
Spring hits that sweet spot for exploring Turkey's ancient sites and landscapes. Our most popular 10-day routes make the most of these perfect conditions, when temperatures stay between 60-75°F and wildflowers fill the valleys. The comprehensive Anatolia circuits get great feedback, especially for mixing historical sites and natural wonders. You'll be in Istanbul when tulips bloom, then visit Gallipoli where spring adds extra meaning to those WWI memorials. Moving on to Ephesus, our guides show off the clever Roman engineering that kept the city comfortable in any weather. Cappadocia's cave churches and underground cities are just right to explore in spring, and many tours include that early morning balloon flight over the fairy chimneys.

- Summer 2026
Our popular 10-day summer routes through Turkey strike an ideal balance between cultural immersion and heat management. These well-crafted tours let you explore historical treasures, while adapting to warmer temperatures through smart scheduling. Beginning in Istanbul, you'll visit Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace in the early hours, then venture to Antalya where Duden waterfalls and Mediterranean cable car rides offer welcome respite from the sun. Swimming spots are woven throughout the journey, from the thermal pools of Pamukkale to secluded bays during gulet sailing excursions. A highlight for our guests is spending two full days in Cappadocia, where dawn balloon flights provide both crisp temperatures and exceptional visibility. The itinerary includes extended time in the coastal havens of Kusadasi and Izmir, perfect for exploring Ephesus during cooler periods and enjoying evenings by the sea. Our experienced guides fine-tune daily schedules, often moving activities earlier, and incorporating afternoon downtime at hotels selected for their refreshing pools.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall lets you really take in Turkey's highlights without fighting summer crowds. Our classic 7-10 day tours work beautifully in autumn, giving you proper time to explore Troy, Pergamon and also other ancient sites. The Magic Carpet route gets particularly good reviews - you see the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in perfect light, then travel east through color-changing landscapes to Cappadocia where cool mornings make balloon flights extra clear. Several routes spend more time at Pamukkale, where autumn weather is ideal for exploring the white terraces and Hierapolis ruins. Our travelers tell us how the old Silk Road sections through Konya, Cappadocia and surrounding areas come alive with fall colors, making those longer travel days more interesting. From what our travelers tell us, Fez Travel stands out among Turkish tour operators - their guides Faruk and Aran consistently get mentioned by name for really knowing their stuff and making everyone feel welcome. Tour Altinkum is another solid choice; Kerem and his team handled the pandemic disruptions well, staying flexible and keeping communication clear throughout. If you're trying to decide between tour styles, I'd lean toward the smaller groups. Some of our customers who've done the larger bus tours with companies like Eskapas mentioned the quality can be hit or miss, and you might spend more time than you'd like on the bus between stops. The private and small group options tend to work better for most people - you get more attention from the guide and can move at a more natural pace. The way these companies adapted during Covid shows a lot about how they operate. Tour Altinkum was particularly good about working with travelers on rescheduling and refunds, which isn't something every company managed well during that time. Their local knowledge really came through when plans needed quick adjustments. Just keep in mind that while the bigger group tours are often cheaper, you're trading some of that personal touch and flexibility that makes the smaller tours special. It really comes down to what matters most for your trip.

What's the Best Time to Visit Turkey for Great Weather and Fewer Tourists?
You'll want to aim for the shoulder seasons April-May or September-October when the weather's just perfect and you won't be fighting crowds like in peak summer. Spring's especially beautiful in Cappadocia with wildflowers everywhere while autumn brings these amazing colors to the Aegean coast. Most of our travelers pick these times because you can really enjoy sightseeing and get great photos without melting in the summer heat.
What Cultural Experiences Can You Actually Join In On?
Turkish hammams are this incredible tradition you've got to try - they're these amazing bath houses where you'll get the most relaxing cleansing experience. You'll find them all over but Istanbul and Kusadasi have some really authentic ones our 9 Days Elegance tour includes one. Then there's carpet weaving in villages like Sultanköy where you can actually see how it's done and even try it yourself. The Whirling Dervishes in Konya is something special too it's this spiritual Sufi ceremony that's really moving our 10 Days Anatolian tour takes you there.
Where Are Turkey's Natural Wonders and How Do You Get to Them?
Cappadocia's probably the most famous it's this UNESCO site with these incredible "fairy chimney" rocks and amazing valleys like Rose Valley and Pigeon Valley. You can explore by tour hiking or take this incredible hot air balloon ride - our 10 Days Best of Turkey tour covers the best spots. There's also this hidden gem called Butterfly Valley near Fethiye you'll need to take a boat there but it's perfect for swimming and hiking. Pamukkale's another must-see with these stunning white terraces and thermal pools you can get there by bus and explore the ancient city of Hierapolis too our 8 Days combined tour includes both.
How Do You Get Around Turkey?
Internal flights are really convenient between the major cities like Istanbul Izmir and Antalya we include these in tours like our 10 Days Best of Turkey. Long-distance buses are great too they go pretty much everywhere and won't break the bank. In cities and towns dolmuses these shared taxis are super handy for getting around. One of our travelers Jacquie loved how smooth the airport transfers and VIP cars were on the Best of Turkey tour.
