Eleven days from the Aegean to the Turquoise Coast

Istanbul · Ephesus · Pamukkale · Fethiye · Antalya · Cappadocia

11 Days / 10 Nights Istanbul, Ephesus, Pamukkale, Fethiye, Antalya & Cappadocia Tour

Tour Overview

Eleven days, six regions, three internal flights, one boat day. This is the route for clients who want the ancient sites and the Mediterranean in the same trip, without changing agencies halfway.

Who it suits. Couples and small groups on a second visit, and anyone who found the classic circuit too museum-heavy. Four of the eleven nights are on the coast, so the trip has an actual holiday inside it.

What you handle, what we handle. You sell and collect. We operate the three internal flights, the long private road transfers, ten nights with breakfast, the Fethiye boat day and the guided days with entrance fees.

Read this before you quote: the Fethiye boat day runs April to October. From November to March the boats do not sail, that day becomes free, and the price of the trip is lower. Ask us for the winter rate rather than assuming this one.

Tour Highlights

  • Four nights on the coast · two in Fethiye, two in Antalya
  • A full day on the water · the 12 Islands of Fethiye, with swimming stops and lunch on board

Frequently asked questions

Extend the trip? Combine this tour

Ask for a combined quotation · we reply within 24 hours with one closed price.

How does your pricing work with agencies?

The price you see is the public selling price · the same one your client would find on any of our channels, so you are never undercut. Request the tariff sheet and we send you the net rate for this tour.

Can we sell this in winter?

The route runs, but the Fethiye boat day does not. From November to March the boats do not sail, so day 5 stays free and the trip is priced lower. Do not quote the published price for winter dates · ask us and we send the winter rate.

What happens if the sea is rough on the boat day?

The captain decides on the morning and either shortens the route or changes the bays. We tell your client before boarding rather than at sea. If the trip cannot sail at all, we replace it with a land excursion or refund that component.

Which flights are included?

All three internal flights: Istanbul-İzmir, Antalya-Cappadocia and Cappadocia-Istanbul. Each carries 15 kg checked and 8 kg cabin per person. International flights are not included and stay with you.

How long are the road transfers?

Two long ones: Pamukkale to Fethiye is about four hours and Fethiye to Antalya about three, both private and both along the coast. They are the price of putting the Mediterranean into this itinerary; there is no flight that shortens them usefully.

How and when do we pay?

Three instalments: 20% to confirm the booking, 40% five working days before we issue the internal flight tickets and guarantee the hotels, and the final 40% fifteen days before arrival · thirty days for groups of ten or more. The three dates are written on your confirmation. The deposit stays valid as credit for 12 months if plans change. On group files of ten or more with a flight block, the deposit funds the block from day one and is non-refundable.

What is the minimum number of travellers, and what about single rooms?

Two. The published 2,035 USD is per person in a double or triple room. If your client travels with someone but wants their own room, there is a single supplement · the figure is on the tariff sheet. A solo traveller is priced separately, because private transfers and the vehicle are not shared.

Do you invoice in my agency's name?

Yes. We invoice the agency, not the end client, and your client never sees our net rate.

Is this a private tour or a group tour?

Both, on purpose. The guided touring days are shared small-group tours: your clients join a group capped at 18 travellers in a Sprinter van, never a large coach · group-tour pricing without the crowd. Everything in Istanbul, transfers included, is private, for your clients only. A single traveller or a couple can be booked into the groups, and if your client wants the whole tour private, ask us and we quote it.
