Details 
Our most-booked itinerary â and for good reason. In one week you'll see two completely different sides of TĂŒrkiye: buzzing Istanbul, where mosques sit next to trendy cafĂ©s, and the moonscapes of Cappadocia, where hundreds of hot-air balloons rise at dawn.
In Istanbul you'll visit Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace, cruise the Bosphorus and get lost (with a guide!) in the lanes of the Grand Bazaar. Then a short flight takes you to Cappadocia, where you'll stay in an atmospheric cave hotel, descend into an underground city and walk through Rose Valley at sunset.
Flights from Warsaw, hotels, transfers and a tour leader are all included â you just pack your suitcase.
Flight to Istanbul and transfer to your hotel in Sultanahmet. Welcome dinner in the evening overlooking the Sea of Marmara.
Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and the Basilica Cistern â the heart of old Constantinople with a guide.
The sultans' treasury at Topkapı Palace in the morning, then a Bosphorus cruise and time at the Grand Bazaar.
Short flight to Kayseri and transfer to Göreme. Check in to your cave hotel, then dinner with traditional testi kebab.
Optional balloon flight at dawn. Then the Göreme Open-Air Museum, Uçhisar Castle and the fairy chimneys of PaĆabaÄ.
Descend into the Derinkuyu underground city, then walk along the river in Ihlara Valley with lunch by the water.
A pottery workshop in Avanos, free time and a sunset walk through Rose Valley. Farewell dinner in the evening.
Transfer to Kayseri airport and flight to Warsaw via Istanbul.

âMy first time in TĂŒrkiye and it couldn't have gone better. Our guide Burak talked about Istanbul with such passion that nobody looked at their phone, and the cave hotel in Göreme was a dream â I'll never forget breakfast on the terrace with balloons overhead.â
âGreat organisation from start to finish â flights, transfers and hotels without a single hitch. I booked and paid by BLIK in 10 minutes, and the team answered on WhatsApp even on a Sunday.â
âA very full programme and excellent guides. Our first balloon flight was cancelled because of the wind, but the team rebooked us for the next morning straight away. The second day in Istanbul was a bit too intense for me â still, I'd recommend it.â
No, the balloon flight is optional and paid separately. We'll book it with a trusted operator â seats sell out fast in high season, so it's best to decide when you book the tour.
Yes â on request we'll check connections from KrakĂłw, GdaĆsk, Katowice or WrocĆaw, usually via Istanbul. Any supplement depends on the available fare.
Cappadocia sits at around 1,000 m above sea level, so mornings and evenings can be chilly even in summer. Bring a warm layer â especially for a dawn balloon flight.
