One of my favourite countries to date (which says a lot) I am thrilled to share my complete guide to Western Turkey!!
I completed this itinerary in 2.5 weeks. It's fast paced, but perfectly timed, I think. There wasn't a single thing I felt was missed or needed extra time to explore.
I recommend starting and ending in istanbul, making it a complete circle.
In this itinerary you will experience:
- The vibrant city that connects Europe to Asia, Istanbul.
- Underground cities, hot air balloons, and fairy chimneys of Cappadocia.
- The shimmering, turquoise waters of the West Coast through boat trips and The Blue Lagoon.
- Natural wonders of the world, and countless UNESCO world heritage sites.
- The Capital city, Ankara.
- Ancient Roman cities such as Ephesus, Troy, Olympos, and Hierapolis.
- Interactive and engaging activities such as Bustling bazaars, carpet weaving workshops, and Turkish performances.
- Natural phenomenons such as calcium pools of Pamukkale, and infinite fire in Olympos.
- and much more!
