Overview

Explore two of Turkey’s most iconic regions—Cappadocia and Ephesus—on this seamlessly organized 3-day tour with flights.
Begin with a flight from Istanbul to Kayseri and dive into the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia on two guided tours. Walk through the otherworldly Rose Valley, go deep into the fascinating Kaymaklı Underground City, and marvel at the UNESCO-listed Göreme Open-Air Museum. Spend the night in a boutique cave hotel—a true Cappadocia experience—and choose to upgrade with a once-in-a-lifetime hot air balloon ride over the fairy chimneys.
On Day 3, fly to Izmir to explore the ancient ruins of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world. Discover the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, and more as you walk through history with your guide.
Including domestic flights between regions / airport transfers / daily guided tours with expert commentary
4-star hotel stays in Cappadocia and Izmir / optional return flight to Istanbul for added convenience

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
