Trip to Turkey: Tour Itineraries

Last Updated on May 22, 2023

How to plan your trip to Turkey? Here's what you need to know to do it yourself or take a  guided tour , or a mixture of both.

Top Destinations

Turkey's  top destinations  for  first-time visitors  are  Istanbul ,  Cappadocia , the  Ephesus area  south of  İzmir  on the  Aegean coast including  Pamukkale , and the  western Mediterranean coast , including  Antalya ).  

You can visit the  top destinations  in as little as  8 days  on a tour, or on your own  if you get the transport just right . Of course, 9 or 10 days is better, and  2 weeks  is comfortable.

On Your Own

Experienced travelers and small groups may want to make their own travel arrangements and design their own trips. My  TripKits ™  are sample self-guided itineraries of various lengths that can help you to plan your own Turkey experience.

You should consider having one of my  recommended Turkish travel agencies  help you to make your travel reservations. I do. It may cost no more than doing it yourself, and when you work with an agency you'll always have a support team of local experts to help whenever changes are necessary, or unexpected events occur.

Not only that, a good agency will suggest possibilities that you wouldn't know about and can influence travel service providers on your behalf.  

Guided Tours

Especially on the  first trip to Turkey , and especially if your travel time is only around  6 to 10 days, it makes sense to consider joining a  guided tour . All the tedious travel arrangements (flights, airport transfers, local transport, hotels, guides, admissions, meals) are taken care of, and you have the opportunity to share your travel experiences with like-minded travelers who are also visiting Turkey for the first time.

In many cases, an escorted tour costs no more than making your own arrangements. Tour companies buy travel services wholesale. You buy them retail.

Even if you don't plan to join a guided tour, I suggest that you look at some of the tours described here to learn about Turkey's top sights and how the professional's design visits to them.  

Best Guided Tours by Pupa Travel

Private guides.

You can hire a  professional, licensed private guide  to show you around a city, a region, or all of Turkey. My  recommended guides  are among the best in the country. Note that a private guide is required to work through a travel agency, and cannot be a driver as well. Driver and guide are two different professions in Turkey.  

1 to 5 Days

From a  single day  in  Istanbul  to a  five-day  Turkish adventure, here are the  TripKits™  you need.  

6 to 10 Days

You can see all of Turkey's top sights and enjoy its pleasures, too—even a  yacht cruise  or  hot-air balloon flight —in six to 10 days.  

11 to 15 Days

More time means more depth and more fun: sidewalk cafes,  beaches , ancient ruins, and more.  

16 to 23 Days

This is time enough for a Grand Tour, including sights off the beaten path.  

24 to 30+ Days

The whole country is yours, even the adventurous  East ! Here's how to make the best of this generous amount of time.  

Turkey & Greece

Everybody's doing it: including both Turkey and Greece in the same trip. It's an excellent idea, but transportation is tricky! If you don't get it right, you'll spend too much time on the road and not enough enjoying these two wonderful destinations.  

Turkey & Egypt

Istanbul  and Cairo are only two hours apart by air, so it's easy to see both of these top-ten destinations on the same trip. Have lunch on the  Bosphorus , and dinner on the Nile!

You Should Add on Your Turkey Travel Plan

Hagia Sophia

Known as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the Hagia Sophia Museum (Hagia Sophia) is fascinating. It is one of the must-see buildings in the world with its Byzantine splendor. The facade is amazing and is surrounded by elegant minarets added after the Ottoman conquest. The sumptuous interior is a great reminder of the power of ancient Constantinople.

Visiting this historical building is a must for every tourist in Turkey.

The ancient city of Ephesus is a historical region not to be missed.

This is the most complete and intact place in the Mediterranean region that stand still proudly through the Roman times. When planning your trip to the ancient city of Ephesus Turkey, do not forget to spare at least half a day to fully explore this ancient city. Make sure you plan your time correctly so that your trip is not rushed.

Taking photos of Cappadocia's natural beauties and unique landscapes is a dream of many photographers. The geographical structure of this region and the sights offer us really amazing encounters. Here you can feel like you are in fantasy movies. The rocks in the Cappadocia region have been damaged by hundreds of thousands of years of wind and water movements which has enabled the creation of a magnificent columns that are called fairy chimneys.

In the past, the people living in this region used the soft rocks in volcanic beds. They built houses, churches and monasteries by carving these structures. You can see these old historical buildings, many authentic boutique rocks made by carving volcanic rocks in this form, such seen in hotels, as well. Göreme became the center of a monastery between 300 and 1200 AD. For those who want to see the natural beauties of the region from a bird's eye view, hot air balloons offer such enjoyment in the mid-air. See unseen landscapes and experience unique activities. If you are interested, you must add your Cappadocia to your Turkey list of attractions.

Topkapi Palace

Topkapi Palace is the most visited museums in Turkey. In Topkapi Palace, you will witness the magnificent lives of the Ottoman sultans. Ottoman Empire; a gigantic empire whose sultans extended the lands from the down East and into African lands. This museum has hosted the Sultan and his families for 400 years. Tourists will be able to learn more closely the near past in the history.

The interiors are lavishly decorated. Tiles and eye catching colours with dazzling jewels. You will be able to see the Ottoman power up close and personally. The public gardens around Topkapi Palace were once belonged to the Royal Palace but open to the public today as greenery for people tired of the noise in the city that provides the opportunity to breathe in. Travellers who want to witness the Ottoman Period lifestyle must definitely visit Topkapi Museum.

This region has one of Turkey's most famous natural wonders. Pure white travertine terraces and evergreen, it looks like a snowy field standing in the middle of the landscape. An ancient spa town from Roman Era, though one of the highlights of the trip, the immense and stray remains of Hierapolis are located on this calcite hill and that is another reason to visit.

Sunset is the perfect timing for taking the best photos. Floating from the sunset, the glow gained by the sunlight and the travertine allows you to capture wonderful photo scenes.

Sumela Monastery

Sumela Monastery (Monastery of the Virgin Mary), a stunning monastery built at the bottom of a cliff structure. The walls of the church are covered with frescoes. One of the remarkable details in the church id Virgin Mary figures. Walking around this abandoned religious building is a unique black sea experience. Add to that the northeast region of Turkey Trail that is a must-see area for travellers. First opened during the Byzantine period, the monastery was closed in 1923. While wandering around this abandoned empty monastery today, it is not difficult to imagine the desolate lives of the monks who lived here during their lifetimes.

Nemrut Mountain

The first priority of Turkey's east to be seen is the top of Mount Nemrut that is a burial ground of the Kingdom of Commagene, which dominated this region in ancient times Antiochus I, the king of this kingdom, to show his gratitude to his ancestors and gods, had monumental sculptures and his own grave built on the mountain. This desolate and interesting site on the mountain top stands out as one of Turkey's most bizarre archaeological sites. The mountain and the statues on top of it is a perfect spot to observe the environment from. Sculptures positioned to be divided into two groups. The first group sculptures salute the sunrise and the second group is positioned to greet the set.

The best way to enjoy this place is to go at sunset and sunrise alike. If you need to choose one of the time zones, choose the sunrise especially to enjoy more of a day time. Take your place by climbing to the summit of Mount Nemrut before the rise, while you cannot see it in the dark. When suddenly all the talisman of the night breaks down through the rays of the sun that warms you as the soaring magnificent view welcomes you. An atmosphere that calms people and gives an eternal peace. If your plan is to go at sunset, don't forget to take your wine and cheese with you for a picnic against the sunset is an indescribable joy!

Aspendos Roman Theater is located just south of Antalya. Theater capacity is measured as 12,000 people. The best preserved ancient structure in the world and one of the most distinctive features of the theater is that it has a great acoustic structure. The glory of Marcus Aurelius administration during the Roman period was celebrated with ceremonies in this theater.

According to a legend, the competition organized by the ruler of Aspendos. The purpose of this competition was to ensure the construction of a structure that would increase the welfare of the city. The winner to be honoured by king's daughter’s hand in marriage. 2 competitors in the final of the competition were left. One of them is the water channel systems and aqueducts that allow water to flow to Aspendos. The ruler was almost convinced to give him his daughter. But 2nd competitor wanted to build theatre at the highest visibility. While traveling, a voice suddenly whispered in the ear of the ruler. "Your daughter should be mine!" The ruler, who was startled when he heard, was looking for the source of the sound. The acoustics of the theater affected the ruler so much that he immediately changed his decision and chose the work made by the founder of the theater.
