Designed for those who wish to see different areas of Turkey without committing themselves to a fourteen-day itinerary and also for those who are not interested in driving l but wish to divide their holiday between two destinations. You can choose longer or shorter stays in our below suggestions or mail us with your own suggested itinerary.

Examples:

4 night sejour in Istanbul+10 day stay at a Beach Resort.
Stay in the historical Sultanahmet area in an authentic ‘Old Istanbul’ hotel. The hotel terrace overlooks the Bosphorus. Visit the Topkapi Museum, Yerebatan Cistern, St. Sophia, the Blue Mosque and many other local museums and sites on foot...Also take advantage of the gourmet delights of Istanbul; anything from a fish sandwich on the Bosphorus straits to the authentic Ottoman cuisine in the old city. From Istanbul fly down to the Turquoise Coast to stay in the accommodation of your choice. It could be a self-catering cottage, a 4-star hotel, or an all-inclusive holiday village. We organize your airport transfers and when required your flights. With your accommodation vouchers you will receive notes on the areas you are to visit. At the resort we help you decide on which activities in the area you wish to take part in.

4 night sejour in Istanbul + 10 days in Cappadocia.
Stay in the historical Sultanahmet area in an authentic ‘Old Istanbul’ hotel. From the hotel terrace you view the Bosphorus. On foot you visit Topkapi Museum, Yerebatan Cistern, St. Sophia, the Blue Mosque and many other local museums and sites...Also take advantage of the gourmet delights of Istanbul; anything from a fish sandwich on the Bosphorus straits to the delights of the Ottoman cuisine in the old city.
From Istanbul fly on to Kayseri in central Turkey. Choose whether you wish to have a hire car waiting at the airport.. This is an excellent holiday choice for those who are not interested in a beach venue. Cappadocia is the perfect area for trekking, horse-riding, mountain-biking, hot-air ballooning, photography and sketching. Due to Cappadocia’s topographical setting Turkish villages have grown up around earlier troglodyte settlements; subsistence farming is practiced and the lifestyle is traditional. The local over-fifties still choose the donkey for transport !
With so many interests you will need a car for only half the time you are there, or just decide to join organized excursions.
