Experience Turkey’s Essential Highlights in One Week
The Highlights of Turkey Tour is designed for first-time visitors who want to experience three of the country’s most celebrated destinations without arranging every flight, transfer, hotel and guided tour separately. The journey begins in imperial Istanbul, continues through the extraordinary landscapes of Cappadocia and concludes with the classical heritage of Ephesus.
Guided sightseeing is operated in a small group format in each destination, while domestic flights and airport transfers connect the route efficiently. Rather than rushing through a long list of stops, the program focuses on meaningful explanations from licensed guides, well-paced visits and lunches at carefully selected local restaurants instead of large open-buffet venues.
