Hi there! There are so many valleys to discover in Cappadocia—it’s hard to figure out which ones to visit and in what order before you’re actually there. So, I put together a 3-day itinerary after my trip in October, packed with useful info: the cost of visits, how to book a hot-air balloon flight, which valleys to explore, and more. Here’s the link: https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2023/10/3-jours-pour-visiter-la-cappadoce.html

Hope this helps! :)

Hi everyone,

At the end of October 2024, we were lucky enough to spend a little over a week in Turkey—heading to Antalya. We then set off on a 6-day road trip exploring southern and western Turkey! Since planning a trip isn’t always easy, we’re sharing our itinerary and feedback on the different places we visited.

With a few photos, we hope to wow you 😎!

Here’s our loop itinerary starting from Antalya (a packed schedule, but it let us see so much):

Day 1 - Antalya (Kaleiçi, the historic center of Antalya) and Lara Beach



Day 2 - The Lycian site of Myra and the port of Kaş





Day 3 - The Turquoise Coast: Kaputaş Beach, the beach and dunes of Patara, the Saklıkent Canyon, the “ghost village” of Kayaköy, the ruins of Telmessos, and the Tomb of Amyntas







Day 4 - The Iztuzu Beach and the village of Şirince





Day 5 - The ancient city of Ephesus and the rural village of Birgi



Day 6 - Pamukkale and Hierapolis, then the seaside resort of Side before returning to Antalya (Day 7 in the morning).



So, does this make you want to take a little road trip in Turkey or what 😉?

For each visit, we’ve shared on our personal blog https://ideesdevoyage.fr (type it directly into your address bar) the practical info you need to know (hours, prices, etc.), but most importantly, tips to make the most of your visit (where to park for free, how to avoid crowds, the best time for great lighting, must-see photo spots, and more).

We hope this itinerary and our tips will inspire you and help you plan your future trip to southern and western Turkey.
