Seven
to ten days is plenty
of time to see Ephesus, Cappadocia, Istanbul and
more, with or without a recommended licensed
private guide.
Your
basic itinerary will be the same
as Turkey's
Top Sights in 6 Days, but
you'll have 1 to 4 extra days. Here's
how to use them:
Extra
Day(s) at Ephesus: explore
the ancient cities of Priene, Miletus and Didyma,
ending with a swim at Altinkum
Beach; or take an excursion
to Sirince, a traditional
village up in the hills to the
east; or have fun in the nearby
resort of Kusadasi,
with its beaches, boutiques, restaurants
and nightclubs; or take a day-trip
to the hot springs at Pamukkale,
stopping at Aphrodisias along
the way.
Extra
Day(s) in Cappadocia: Tour
the Soganli Valleys, or
rent a car and explore some other
traditional Cappadocian towns such
as Uçhisar and Mustafapasa;
or take a day excursion to the
dramatic Ihlara
Valley near Aksaray;
or look for Seljuk
Turkish caravanserais along
the ancient Silk
Road between Sultanhan and Kayseri.
Extra
Day(s) in Istanbul: Spread
your sightseeing over three days
instead of two, giving you a
more leisurely pace and
more time at each site; or take
a bus or taxi to the Kariye
Museum (Chora Church) to
see its glorious Byzantine mosaics,
and to visit the mighty city
walls and Byzantine palace
of Tekfur
Sarayi nearby; or take an
excursion to the Princes'
Islands. You may also have
time for a day-trip or overnight
excursion to Edirne, Iznik
(Nicaea) and Bursa,
or Gallipoli, Troy and
the Dardanelles.
Ankara
on the Way: Instead
of the evening flight from Izmir
to Kayseri, fly in the morning
from Izmir to Ankara,
visit the Museum of Anatolian
Civilizations and Atatürk's
Mausoleum (Anitkabir), then drive or
take a bus to Cappadocia.
