The contrast between Istanbul and Cappadocia made the six days. The bustle of the old city, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar, then the silence of the Cappadocia valleys on the north and south tours, and finally a Bosphorus cruise. Two regions, each with proper time, and excellent guides in both. A wonderfully balanced introduction to Turkey that we would recommend to any first timer.

Loved finishing with the Bosphorus cruise after the chimneys of Cappadocia. Six days across Istanbul and Cappadocia, beautifully balanced and guided.
