Spend six days discovering some of the best bits of central Turkey and Cappadocia. From the Mediterranean Sea in the south to the northern capital city of Istanbul, immerse yourself in the culture and history of a truly unique country. Explore Konya and maybe learn about the practices of Sufism and the art and performance of the whirling dervish. Spend three days in Cappadocia among the fairy chimneys and hot air balloons. Hike through the rocky landscape and natural sandstone monoliths, then make your way to Istanbul – the city that melds European and Middle Eastern cultures into one.
Highlights
- Dine in the home of a local family, where you’ll be treated to a traditional home-cooked Turkish meal and have the opportunity to learn about life in the desert.
- Explore the weird and wonderful world of Cappadocia – this might be the most unusual place in Turkey. Learn all about its fairy chimneys and sprawling rock formations from your expert local leader.
- Wander the warrens of underground cities, homes and churches carved straight into the sandstone of the Cappadocian desert, and maybe opt to gaze down at the city from above on a sunrise hot air balloon ride.
- The thriving metropolis of Istanbul is where East literally meets West. Discover the highlights and the history of this incredible city that melds the cultures of two continents.
- Learn about the history and culture that was born in Konya, from the teachings of Sufism to the art and skill of the whirling dervish.

Would not recommend. This trip is like an RyanAir or Jetstar Flight. You'll think it's a good deal and sign up for it, but then you'll find anything that's worth adding to the trip will come out of your pocket and will end up costing a fortune. You won't be doing anything in Antalya and Konya as you'll end up there at night - so forget doing anything there. The Ceramics Workshop section is rip-off - you'll find the things they sell elsewhere for a fraction of the price. They have original piece but those cost as much as the tour. Just plan a trip yourself and start in Cappadocia or Istanbul, you'll probs get more for your money that way.

Our experience in Cappadocia was incredible, it is a magical place. Unfortunately the entire first day is on a bus (12 hours), which was very exhausting and boring. The last day doesn’t include official tour time in Istanbul, so the ‘5-Day Cappadocia tour’ is really only 3 days plus 2 very long bus-rides. Most activities require additional cost, so became very expensive. Overall it was a great experience!

A lovely trip and amazing way to see Cappadocia. We joined in with a tour from Istanbul but our host and the people were really welcoming. Taha (host) was amazing. Would recommend!!

The trip was incredible! I would definitely recommend going! The location is stunning, and the hot air balloon is a once in a lifetime experience, the underground city was incredible to see, but above all that our tour guide llter was amazing!

This tour is a great way to spend time in Cappadocia and do the sunrise balloons. Be aware that you are joining onto an already established Intrepid trip however it is still a good way to meet new people.

The Real Turkey tour, was a great experience to learn the intricate culture and history of Turkiye. The tour guide Ziver provided an exceptional service and was a very welcoming individual to talk to on the tour, his knowledge on the sites was great and that too made the tour great.

Tour leader Beykan was not very thorough for this trip, seemed like we were organizing everything, seemed like we were taking care of him instead of the other way around. We did not enjoy him as our tour leader. Seemed like we were frequently left questioning what the plan was, he seemed a bit absent as a tour leader. He didnt seem to care about the enjoyment of the group, just doing the bare minimum possible. The cappadocia hot air balloon ride was cancelled, and when we asked if we could try again for the next two days, he said it was fully booked for the next month. But when we went directly to the booking agents they told us there were spaces available and were able to take the balloon ride despite what our tour leader had said. The airport transfer that he organized did not come. I waited for an hour for the transfer and during this time he was not answering his phone at all. I had to discuss and organize another ride to the airport with the hotel staff (thankfully they were very helpful). Was very stressed about missing my flight at this time. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, but to be honest the tour leader made it less enjoyable than it could have been.

My tour to cappadocia turnt into a joyful experience with our tourleader Ekrim! Extraordinary engaged and full of knowledge.

Cheap, but some things are worth paying more. Overnight bus was a 15 hour bus that went overnight. Pretty uncomfortable and were told there would only be 2 stops. If you needed to use the toilette that was your problem because the bus isnt stopping. “Just don't drink any water for the day”. Plans changed every day. The sunset with cheese and wine you actually pay for yourself. First thing tour leader asks you is for more money. Very all over the place. Would think twice before booking

What an opportunity to experience the beautiful, unique scenery of Cappadocia. The landscape and sightseeing were definitely the highlight of the trip. A close second would be meeting the locals who were so warm and friendly.

I really enjoyed my trip to Cappadocia. The other people on the trip were very friendly and fun. Our guide, Alp, was excellent. He had good food recommendations for the duration of our trip. And, he did a great job coordinating the included and extra activities. Goreme and Cappadocia were beautiful. The cave hotel was a very unique experience that distinguished Cappadocia from many other places I've been to. The five-day trip was well-paced. Our days were full but not overwhelming.

My first every solo trip was unforgettable! I knew Intrepid will nail it but this is just beyond my expectation! Beykan is the best Tour Guide I ever had!
07/21/2024
Short but sweet trip! Really loved my first Intrepid experience in Türkiye, lots of fun, fascinating history and the beautiful Cappadocia and magical Istanbul were both incredible. The experience wouldn't have been the same if it was not led by the passionate Beykan, who really ensured complete satisfaction, by going above and beyond. I hope to return to Türkiye soon to discover more of what the beautiful country has to offer. Thank you Intrepid and Beykan for such pleasurable memories!

This was a great trip! Bucket list items were ticked off ??

This trip was such a unique experience which I would totally recommend to anyone looking to solo travel or travel in a group without having to think about what to do or where to go! Great service
07/14/2024
Amazing to meet lots of likeminded travellers. This trip is good if you want to see a different side of Turkey however there is a lot of time on buses and travelling to each destination. I would recommend this trip and had an amazing time
07/11/2024
An unforgettable trip and a great way to explore Turkiye in a short period of time. Our guide, Kivanç, was amazing! He was really charismatic, kind, and helpful with all his knowledge and recommendations. It’s a well-paced trip and Cappadocia was definitely a highlight. I would highly recommend.
06/01/2024
This tour was incredible. 100% worth the money especially if you get the discount price but even the full price is worth it. Tour guide Beykan was absolutely incredible! really recommend this to anyone wanting to see turkey! Just be wary of the overnight bus as it was not for everyone!
05/31/2024
This trip was the perfect introduction to Turkey. Our guide Beykan was also very knowledgeable and approachable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a nominal, authentic, and culturally driven tour to Turkey.
05/13/2024
This is great tour that provides a good mix of included activities and free time. This is a great amount of time to see the places listed on the tour. Well worth it, and highly recommended.

Amazing trip and unforgettable memories in a country which is full of deep history, with an Intrepid community that was incredibly friendly for a solo traveller! I would like to thank Ata for making this trip memorable evoked through his passionate storytelling of Turkish culture and history. Rather than a tour guide, it felt like we had a friend on board with us!
