More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the airport into a city that insists on being explored: Istanbul’s air tastes faintly of roasted sesame and sea, the call to prayer threads through traffic noise, and your guide is waiting with a small sign and a practiced smile. Over seven days you’ll move from this metropolitan jumble to the lunar quiet of Cappadocia’s valleys and finally to the pine-scented cliffs above Antalya’s turquoise coast—each leg fast and focused, connected by short domestic flights that make a compact country feel vast.
