    This 3 day adventure was GREAT!! Even though it started on Day 1 super early (3.30am!) it was worth it in order to fit everything in. Cappadocia is truly as amazing 9and guide was great) as it looks however make sure you do the additional extra hot air balloon ride - it is the highlight of the 2 days (even if another early start and an expensive add on - well worth it!). The Garden Inn hotel was lovely, peaceful and relaxing. It took 2 flights to get from there to Ephesus which was annoying, but all went smoothly - i was disappointed not to have more time to explore Kusadasi (we arrived ~midnight!). Finally Ephesus was interesting and again the guide was excellent and we managed to avoid the long lines at the Temple of Virgin Mary. Only downside was the meet and transfer back to hotel in Istanbul at the end, which was chaotic, delayed and an irritating end (we should have just got a taxi) to what was otherwise a fabulous tour!

    · May 27th, 2022
    Day 1-2 Cappadocia Green Tour was more interesting guide was good and really enjoyed his job. The last day was cut short because of a delay start and having to catch a plane. Day 3 Ephesus Dilan was a fantastic guide very informative but kept it interesting She hss a great sense of humour which I think is important as we are spending a day together Dilan very kindly bought us all kuniffe when I said that I had never tasted it was delicious We truly enjoyed our day with Dilan and think she is the best guide we have had in Turkey. The only down side was the pick up at the Istanbul airport by LaaL transfer car. Total confusion, it was one hour before the driver turned up and that was after a lot of calls from my end.

All questions
  • J

    Joy

    Asked on September 4th, 2023

    Could we stay overnight near the airport after the day in Ephesus and fly back to Istanbul the next morning? We would book our own hotel if we know which airport we would be flying out of.

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Iglesias Tour TurkeyOperatorWritten September 2023

      In the end of the Ephesus Tour, we can drop you to a Hotel closeby to Izmir Airport. We can book your domestic flight to next morning, however, the rest of the transfers would be at your own responsibility.

    • J

      Joy

      TravelerWritten September 2023

      Since I would need to get my own transfer to the airport the next day do you suggest I try to stay in the city or closer to the airport?

    • Iglesias Tour TurkeyOperatorWritten September 2023

      In both way, getting a transfer is easy. I personally prefer staying in the city, however, if you don't have much time (1-2 days) to visit the city, it is better to stay near to Airport.

    Katie

    Asked on January 18th, 2023

    Would it be possible to catch a flight on 8 Feb from IST-ASR? We would be responsible for the extra night in Cappadocia.

    Flights / Transfers
    • Iglesias Tour TurkeyOperatorWritten January 2023

      When I check, I see a flight that departures from IST at 18:50. You can pick this flight and fly to ASR on your first day. If you request for that, we can add an extra night in Cappadocia to this package.

    • K

      Katie

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      Would it be possible to get a very late check out from the hotel?

    • Iglesias Tour TurkeyOperatorWritten January 2023

      That day, you will leave the Hotel at 10:00 am for the Southern Cappadocia Tour. The Tour finishes around 16:00 - 17:00. And, it is way out the check-out time. And, your departure time for the airport must be 20:00 - 20:30. So, you are without room about 3-4hrs.

    • K

      Katie

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      How far is the airport to the hotel in Kusadasi?
