Cappadocia

  • There are two airports to reach Cappadocia: Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport and Kayseri Erkilet Airport. Kayseri is usually cheaper.

  • Göreme is the best base thanks to its central location and hot air balloon views.

  • Book your hot air balloon ride early in your trip, in case the weather cancels rides, you can change the timing.

  • Make sure the balloon company includes hotel pickup and drop-off.

  • There's usually a Red Tour and a Green Tour to choose from; the Green Tour offers better value because attractions are farther away and harder to reach independently.

  • Many Red Tour attractions can be reached by hiking or public transport.

  • Add ATV rides or sunset tours (or ATV rides by sunset) for extra adventure.

Bodrum

  • Stay near the marina or town centre to easily walk to beaches, restaurants, and nightlife.

  • Start your day with a traditional Turkish breakfast (çay, cheeses, olives, bread, honey).

  • Take a boat cruise to explore the bays and islands around Bodrum.

  • Visit the windmills viewpoint for panoramic views over Bodrum and Gümbet.

  • Spend time exploring small coastal villages like Gümüşlük for a quieter atmosphere.

  • Beach hop between lively beach clubs and quieter beaches like Bitez.

  • Bodrum nightlife is vibrant; Bar Street and the Marina area are the main hotspots.

Antalya

  • 2 days are enough to see the main highlights of the city.

  • Stay in Kaleiçi (Old Town) for historic charm and walkability.

  • Visit both Upper and Lower Düden Waterfalls — they offer completely different experiences.

  • Use public buses or taxis to reach the Upper Düden Waterfalls outside the city.

  • Watch the sunset at Düden Park near the Lower Düden Waterfall.

  • Spend time relaxing at Konyaaltı Beach, one of the city’s most popular beaches.

Istanbul

  • Focus your time around historic Sultanahmet for major landmarks, and explore the other side of the city for shopping, lifestyle, and culinary experiences.

  • Walk between attractions because many historic sites are close together.

  • Explore local markets and bazaars for souvenirs and an authentic atmosphere.

  • Take a Bosphorus cruise if you want to see the city from the water.

  • Visit neighbourhoods like Karaköy and Kadıköy for food and nightlife.

  • Use trams, ferries, and funiculars to move easily across the city.
