You step out before dawn and the valley exhales: cool, mineral-scented air rising from white terraces, chimneys of eroded tuff catching the first light. This four-day package reads like a sampler of Turkey’s best hits — Pamukkale’s milky travertines and Roman ruins, the marble grandeur of Ephesus, the wine-smudged lanes of Şirince, and Cappadocia’s lunar valleys where balloons prick the sky. The itinerary moves fast, but it’s designed so each place hits with the right balance of context and time to breathe.
