Flights or road: what changes

Six of the nine tours link the regions with domestic flights, which is how a week is enough for Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale. The 11-day, 12-day via Troy and 14-day tours travel by road along the Aegean instead. That is slower, but it adds Gallipoli, Troy and Pergamon on the way.

Are entrance fees included?

On eight of the nine tours, entrance fees for the sites in the itinerary are included in the price. On 8-Day Turkey Tour: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus & Pamukkale you pay entrance fees on the day, and your guide gives you a current estimate before you travel.
