This is my 10-day road trip and camping itinerary around Central & Western Turkey (Turkiye). I share my top tips for road-tripping and camping around Turkey as well as my detailed day-by-day itinerary and top attractions to see, food to try, and places to camp overnight. I personally took this road trip in July 2022 - starting and ending in Istanbul - and my goal was to visit a mix of both popular and lesser-known places within Turkey. This trip includes a mix of history and culture, famous food, outdoor exploration, and architecture.
