Europe on one shore, Asia on the other, and a capital of empires for over 1,600 years. Walk Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and the Grand Bazaar on one guided day.
Tour Overview
Turkey's Golden Triangle, in Six Days
The 6 day Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus tour is our most popular way to see Turkey's Golden Triangle. In one well-paced week you cover the three regions that define most travellers' first trip to Turkey: Istanbul, the former capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires; Cappadocia, a volcanic landscape of fairy chimneys, rock-cut churches and ancient underground cities; and Ephesus, the well-preserved ruins of one of antiquity's great cities. It is a genuine "greatest hits" of Turkey for first-time visitors who do not want to extend the trip beyond a week.
This Turkey package tour is built to be simple to book and easy to enjoy. The price includes 5 nights' accommodation with breakfast at your choice of 3, 4 or 5-star hotels, boutique hotels or cave hotels, three domestic flights, all airport transfers, licensed English-speaking guides, 4 local restaurant lunches, and all entrance fees and taxes. The tour starts from $1,595 per person, with no separate flight bookings to organise between cities.
Istanbul: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar
Your Turkey tour begins in Istanbul, the only city on earth to span two continents. After an easy arrival and airport transfer, a full guided day takes you through the historic Sultanahmet peninsula: Topkapı Palace, home to the Ottoman sultans for nearly 400 years; Hagia Sophia, completed by Emperor Justinian in 537 AD; the Blue Mosque with its more than 20,000 hand-painted İznik tiles; the Hippodrome; and the Grand Bazaar, one of the world's largest and oldest covered markets. Interior access to Hagia Sophia is not included.
Cappadocia: fairy chimneys, Göreme Open-Air Museum and Özkonak Underground City
Cappadocia gets two full days, a North tour and a South tour, so the pace never feels rushed. You explore Devrent Valley, Paşabağ (Monk's Valley), the pottery town of Avanos, the UNESCO-listed Göreme Open-Air Museum and the rock castle of Uçhisar, then Red Valley, Çavuşin Village, Pigeon Valley and the Özkonak Underground City. An optional Cappadocia hot air balloon flight is not included but can be booked locally as an add-on.
Ephesus: Library of Celsus, Temple of Artemis and the House of the Virgin Mary
From Cappadocia you fly to İzmir and stay in Kuşadası, ready for a full day at Ephesus. Walk the marble-paved Curetes Street, the Library of Celsus and the 25,000-seat Great Theatre, see the ruins of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and finish at the serene House of the Virgin Mary.
Private tour or small group, tailored to you
Join a small group tour or arrange a private Turkey tour for your own party. The itinerary can be customised to your preferences, from hotel category to pace, and the optional Bosphorus Dinner Cruise on Day 1 can be added if your arrival time allows. Send an enquiry or message us on WhatsApp for availability and a quote.
Private or small group. Join a small group or arrange a private tour exclusively for your party, and tailor the itinerary to your preferences. Please note that the Cappadocia balloon flight and the Hagia Sophia interior visit are not included.
A note on pacing
Cappadocia gets two full days (the North and South tours), so the pace never feels rushed despite covering three very different regions in six days.
Each stage changes the landscape, the history and the rhythm of the trip: the imperial monuments of Istanbul, the volcanic valleys and cave churches of Cappadocia, and the marble streets of Roman Ephesus. Three domestic flights handle the long distances, so your time goes into sightseeing rather than road.

6 Day Turkey Itinerary: Istanbul, Cappadocia & Ephesus at a Glance
If you are looking for a 6 day Turkey itinerary that covers the country's best-known sights without rushing, this Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus tour is built around one idea: spend your days sightseeing, not travelling. Three domestic flights, all airport transfers and every entrance fee are included, so each of the four full tour days is given over to places rather than logistics.

You arrive in Istanbul on Day 1 and are transferred to your hotel, with an optional Bosphorus Dinner Cruise if your flight lands in time.

Day 3 and 4: Cappadocia North and South tours
On Day 3 you fly to Cappadocia and join the North tour: Devrent Valley, Paşabağ, Avanos, the Göreme Open-Air Museum and Uçhisar Castle.

The Cappadocia hot air balloon is an optional extra that can be booked locally.
Day 5 and 6: Ephesus tour and departure
Day 5 is the Ephesus tour: Curetes Street, the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, the ruins of the Temple of Artemis and the House of the Virgin Mary. Day 6 ends the journey with a relaxed breakfast and a transfer to the airport.

Places you visit today (5)
Topkapı Palace Hagia Sophia Blue Mosque Hippodrome Grand Bazaar

Admired for its more than 20,000 hand-painted İznik tiles and six soaring minarets, a number that once stirred controversy for matching the Grand Mosque in Mecca.
Hippodrome
The historic site of ancient chariot races, where an Egyptian obelisk still stands exactly as it did 1,600 years ago.
Grand Bazaar
One of the world's largest and oldest covered markets, with 4,000-plus shops spread across 61 streets since the 15th century.

Wind-sculpted fairy chimneys that seem to take the shape of animals and figures depending on the light.
Paşabağ (Monk's Valley)
Distinctive mushroom-shaped rock formations.
Avanos
A riverside pottery town where the same red clay worked here since Hittite times is still shaped on foot-powered wheels today.

Named for its vivid red and orange hues at sunrise and sunset, with a scenic 5 km hike through the Güllüdere Valley past rock-cut churches whose faded frescoes still trace the presence of early Christian communities.
Çavuşin Village
An atmospheric settlement of cave houses once occupied by Christian clergy.
Pigeon Valley
Renowned for its hundreds of ancient cliff-carved pigeon houses, a genuinely practical piece of ancient agriculture: pigeon droppings were prized as fertiliser and the birds themselves as messengers.
Özkonak Underground City
One of dozens of subterranean settlements carved into Cappadocia's soft volcanic rock, where early Christians sought refuge, sealing stone doors behind them against raiders above and relying on ventilation shafts that still function today.
Flight to İzmir & Kuşadası transfer

Today we discover the remarkable ancient city of Ephesus, once the capital of the Roman province of Asia and, at its 1st and 2nd century AD peak, home to perhaps a quarter of a million people, one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the entire Mediterranean world.
Places you visit today (5)
Curetes Street Library of Celsus Great Theatre Temple of Artemis House of the Virgin Mary
Curetes Street
The marble-paved main street of the ancient city. Walking it, it is remarkably easy to picture the bustle of daily Roman life here two thousand years ago.

Great Theatre
The 25,000-seat Great Theatre of Ephesus, a reminder of the scale of this Roman city.

Guided Ephesus tour Entrance fees

“Sebahattin meticulously planned our customised itinerary at Istanbul perfectly. The arrangement from the first to the last attraction just simply made sense the way he planned it. In addition, when one of our family members was unwell and he found out about it, he immediately sprang into action and made changes to our itinerary to allow for more rest, yet we were able to cover all the attractions after he had made changes to the plan. Finally, we always enjoyed having our wonderful conversations at his office over his delicious Turkish tea. Thank you, Sebahattin, for making our first visit to Turkey such a memorable one. We loved it so much that we are planning to contact you again for an encore!”

“Our tour organizer Mr. Sebahattin was very professional in his services. He came down to our Airbnb to meet us in day 1. Organised our superb cappadocia tour. Our tour guide in Cappadocia Mr. Mustafa was very friendly and professional. Since our hot air balloon was cancelled due to bad weather Mr. Sebahattin came back to our airbnb to return the money. He kept in constant touch through what's app through the tour until we boarded the flight out of Istanbul . We are going back with fond memories of Turkish food, Turkish culture and turkish heritage. Over all I would rate it 5/5 starts. Thank you Mr. Sebahittin got organising a perfect trip for us.”

“The History Travel Agency is a professional one with exemplary tour itinerary. Mr Sebahattin Selam from the Agency remained in constant touch with us starting our departure from India till we landed back home. He took care of minute details. Like we are vegetarians and were worried about the food. History Travel had organised exceptional vegetarian continental lunch for us. Our guide Mr Mehmet Nehir is an exceptional person with a very calm composure. City tour involves plenty of walking. So, do wear a comfortable sport shoes. Keep a bottle of water with you and carry small change. Overall it is an exceptional experience touring Istanbul through The History Travel Agency.”

“Mehmet and Sebahattin were more than tour guides, they were hosts showing the beauty of their country. My wife and I had a full day tour of Istanbul. We had a great lunch and toured all of the main mosques and Topkapi. It was a truly memorable day. The price was fair and I recommend them wholeheartedly.”
