About this tour
Four days, starting and ending at your hotel in Istanbul, for two of Turkey's most striking landscapes: the valleys and fairy chimneys of Cappadocia and the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale. We arrange three domestic flights, three hotel nights, every airport transfer and a licensed private guide on each sightseeing day.
The tour is for your group only. You set the pace at each site, ask your guide whatever you like and never wait for other travellers. Start times can be moved to suit you.
- Two days in the valleys and cave churches of Cappadocia, with an optional sunrise balloon flight
- The fairy chimneys of Paşabağ and an underground city at Kaymaklı or Derinkuyu
- Walk the white terraces of Pamukkale and the ruins of Hierapolis with your own guide
- A swim among Roman columns in the Antique Pool
- Three domestic flights instead of long drives across the country

Day 1 Fly to Cappadocia, private tour of northern Cappadocia Cappadocia Flight
An early start: our driver collects you from your hotel in Istanbul between 04:30 and 05:00 for the morning flight to Cappadocia. We send you the flight details with your itinerary after booking, so you can check in yourself at the airport. Our team waits for you at the domestic arrivals exit in Cappadocia with a sign bearing your name, and the drive to the first sights takes about an hour.
With your guide you see the panorama of Göreme, the rock-cut churches of the Göreme Open Air Museum, the Valley of the Three Beauties, the pottery town of Avanos, Devrent (Imagination) Valley and the fairy chimneys of Paşabağ. Around 16:00 to 17:00 you are taken to your hotel in Cappadocia.
-
Day 2 Private tour of southern Cappadocia Cappadocia Breakfast
This morning is free for an optional sunrise balloon flight. Your guide meets you at your hotel around 09:45 to 10:00 for the southern valleys: Red Valley, Çavuşin Valley and its castle, Love Valley, Pigeon Valley and the underground city of Kaymaklı or Derinkuyu. If you would like to see local crafts, your guide can suggest a few workshops; the stop is up to you. You are back at your hotel around 16:00 to 17:00, with the rest of the day free.
Optional: Hot air balloon flight in Cappadocia (standard) ($350 per person)
-
Day 3 Fly to Izmir, on to Kusadasi Kusadasi Flight Breakfast
At a time that suits your flight, our driver takes you from your hotel to the airport for the flight to Izmir. Our team meets you at the domestic arrivals exit and drives you about an hour to your hotel in Kusadasi, a small resort town on the Aegean coast.
-
Day 4 Private tour of Pamukkale and Hierapolis, fly to Istanbul Flight Breakfast
After breakfast, around 08:00 (you can change the time), you drive about three hours inland to Pamukkale, the "cotton castle": white terraces of travertine formed by warm mineral springs. People have come here to bathe since the 2nd century BC.
Your guide shows you the terraces and the ruins of Hierapolis, the Roman spa city built beside them. Afterwards you have free time to walk barefoot in the terrace pools or swim in the Antique Pool, where marble columns from the Temple of Apollo lie under the water (the pool charges its own entrance fee, about 50 Turkish lira per person at the time of writing).
At the end of the tour you are driven to the airport for the flight back to Istanbul, where our team meets you at the arrivals exit with a sign bearing your name and takes you to your hotel.
