The classic Turkey route in 8 days

Istanbul · Cappadocia · Ephesus · Pamukkale

8 Days / 7 Nights Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus & Pamukkale Tour

Tour Overview

Eight days, three regions, three internal flights. This is the route agencies sell most: Istanbul’s old city, the valleys of Cappadocia, and the Aegean coast with Ephesus and Pamukkale.

Who it suits. Couples, families with older children, and small groups. The pace is steady but not hard: two nights in Cappadocia, two on the coast, and the Istanbul days are free, so your client is not on a coach every morning.

What you handle, what we handle. You sell and collect. We operate everything on the ground: internal flights, all transfers, hotels with breakfast, guides, and entrance fees. Your client has one contact in Turkey and one closed price.

Not suitable for travellers who cannot walk on uneven ground, because Ephesus and Pamukkale have long stone surfaces, or groups over 18 people without a second vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Is the public price the same on all your channels?

Yes. The same price appears on this site and on our Spanish consumer brand. We do not undercut our own agencies, so your client will not find a cheaper price elsewhere from us.

How and when do we pay?

20% to confirm the booking, 40% before travel, and the final 40% on arrival in Turkey. The deposit stays valid as credit for 12 months if plans change.

What happens if my client cancels?

For individual bookings the free cancellation window is 30 days before departure. For groups of 7 or more it is 90 days, because flights and hotel blocks are committed earlier. Exact terms go on the confirmation.

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

Two. The published 1,525 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.

Which languages do the guides work in?

Spanish and English on all touring days. French is available in Istanbul only, not in Cappadocia, Ephesus or Pamukkale.

Do you invoice in my agency name?

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

What do you handle and what do I handle?

You handle the sale, the client relationship and the international flights. We handle everything from arrival to departure: internal flights, transfers, hotels, guides, entrance fees, and assistance on the ground.
