A real insight into Turkey starting with 3 days in Istanbul in the North West before flying down to Izmir and nearby Ephesus one of ‘The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World’. A quick trip inland to Pamukkale (tr. Cotton Castle) and then for the final day on to the Acroplis of Pergamon, before flying back to Istanbul. The trip includes a 3 night stay in Istanbul and 3 nights in Kusadasi.

Went to see this beautiful acient city of Eephesos as a days excursion from our 5 star hotel Xanadu
It’s a fantastic place to visit and learn about all the history of this place from the beginning till the earthquake that destroyed it . See my photos and see for yourself or even better book a holiday at Xanadu and make the excursion for yourself
King regards

Turkiye is a fun and educational visit. The sites are amazing. The people are friendly. The food is great. The guides are fun and very experienced as they share their knowledge. The minibuses are comfortable.
I had four frustrations with this tour:
1. I had to ask each evening when and where to meet the next day. My expectation was the tour organizer to send me proactive notices.
2. The Istanbul tour did not include the famous huge Bascilica Cistern. Instead we visited an interesting small cistern followed by a carpet sales presentation!
3. My last day in Kusadasi had a "possible" day trip to Samos Greek Island. That did not happen. Instead I had an entire day to myself: I paid for a tour! There should've been an alternate tour that day to another attraction somewhat nearby such as Izmir.
4. Upon the return flight to Istanbul Airport from Izmir my tour ended despite providing my itinerary that my flight out of Turkiye was two days later. I had to navigate back to Istanbul on my own.

Highly educated historians/tour guides made the history come alive in Istanbul, Ephesus, Pergamum, Pamukale and more. Every connection worked perfectly - air flights, boutique hotels, pickups, tour arrangements. Congratulations, we were amazed by it all, in particular the highly professional and knowledgeable tour guides.
