Private 6-Day Istanbul & Cappadocia: Old City, Bosphorus, Cave Hotel & Balloon Option
Overview
Turkey’s two most famous destinations in six relaxed days: three nights in Istanbul and two nights in a Cappadocia cave hotel, with a private driver in both places. It is the perfect first trip to Turkey, or an easy add-on to a beach holiday.
Your own licensed guide every day: every departure includes a private, licensed English-speaking guide plus a private vehicle and driver – only your group, never strangers. Prices are per person and get lower the more people travel together (1 to 8 travellers).
A one-hour domestic flight links the two cities. Departures run every day of the year, and the balloon morning can be moved if the weather is not right.
Highlights
- Istanbul: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar, a Bosphorus cruise and the Balat neighbourhood.
- Cappadocia: Göreme Open-Air Museum (UNESCO), Paşabağ and Devrent valleys, Kaymaklı underground city and Uçhisar Castle.
- Two mornings in Cappadocia give you two chances for the balloon flight.
Entrance fees: not included, so you only pay for the sites you want. We recommend the Museum Pass Türkiye (about €165 per person), which covers most museums and archaeological sites on this route.
